The Daily Dispatch: December 12, 1862., [Electronic resource], Providential escape. (search)
Providential escape. --A few days ago the train which brought the members of Gen. Jas. E. Johnston's staff from Virginia to Knoxville, ran off the track, about ten miles the other side of that city; and completely demolished one car and damaged a few others slightly. Fortunately, none of the party were hurt. Several fine horses, belonging to officers of the staff, were so severely injured that they had to be left behind. A box car ran off while the train was crossing Tennessee bridge, but the wheels ran along the sleepers, and, fortunately, did not get off the bridge, though running all the time unpleasantly close to the edge. Had the single car toppled over, the whole train might have been precipitated into the stream. The train had barely crossed the bridge before the box was jerked completely off the track, and was broken to pieces. Chattanooga Rebel.
