last Sunday, 31 July 1910, causing the death by scalding of engineer John Murray.  The train was about 30 minutes late 
and was running at 60 miles an hour to make up time when the accident occurred.  The train crashed into several tons of 
rock and the engine was turned over and skidded along the track on its side for a hundred yards or more.  Engineer 
Murray, who died soon after he was removed from the wreck, was a native of Long Run, this county.", 5/9/2006, researched
