ACCIDENT
[Welland Tribune, 7 June 1898]
A railway accident took place at the M.C.R.R. station on Friday night last, in which about fifty men were jammed in a pile together and five of them were so seriously hurt that they had to be sent home. The men were all standing on three hand cars, packed like sardines, and were coming back from work. The cars were being propelled at a high rate of speed and were following each other closely, when the first one jumped the track and turned over, the one following dumped its heavy load of men on top of them, and then the third car crashed into the other two. Nearly every one was injured more or less. All the men were from St. Thomas and Hagersville.
