trucks stood motionless upon the line. We held our breath as the

express roared along the same track. The crash was horrible.

wood and twisted iron. Red spurts of flame flickered up from the

wreckage until it was all ablaze. For half an hour we sat with

hardly a word, stunned by the stupendous sight.
