Railway Accident
A CANADA SOUTHERN PASSENGER TRAIN OFF THE TRACK
[Citation appears to be: SR, January 21, 1881]
Wellandport, Jan 18—The 2.30 express this morning on the Canada Southern, with seven coaches and quite a number of passengers aboard, ran off the track a little past here. All but the engine were overturned and badly wrecked some being thrown beyond the railway ditch into the fields. Some of the passengers were badly hurt, one of them having his ankle broken and a lady had her head badly bruised and received some internal injuries. A car had to be broken open to get one lady out. As far as can be heard of none are seriously injured. It is supposed that a rail was cracked or broken.
