his brother's corpse - charles j. adams iii lyrics

Loading...

trains don’t stop at mud run anymore

nowadays, the freights that ramble through the lehigh gorge pass without even noticing the sight of one of the most tragic train wrecks ever, anywhere

back in october 1888, extra trains were pressed into the service of bringing some 5,000 total abstinence union conventioneers from a rally in hazleton back to scranton

the jersey central sent eight trains * 87 cars up the lehigh valley line

at the mud run flag station, signals crossеd, and the locomotive of the еighth train slammed into the rear of the seventh

the impact of iron into wood telescoped the passenger cars

the wooden cars split apart

some tumbled 60 feet into the river

soon, the moans of the injured could be heard echoing in the gorge

40 died instantly

24 suffered more agonizing deaths

one would*be rescuer had a most gruesome discovery

as he helped in the grim task of pulling corpses from the wreckage, he happened to catch a glimpse of the face of one of the victims
that face of death turned out to be the face of his own brother

- charles j adams iii lyrics
