Brighton, Mass. (Massachusetts, United States) (search for this): article 9
on the London and Brighton Railway. It seems that two trains, a Brighton excursion and the London Parliamentary, came into collision in the Clayton tunnel, near Brighton. One was backing out, the other entering, the signal men at either end having confounded their signals. Within a very short distance of the mouth of the tunnelthe boiling water from the engine, and their yells of agony were pitiable in the extreme. All the available assistance was as speedily as possible procured from Brighton, and upon the fragments of the carriages being removed, twenty-two persons were found to be dead. The engine had literally sunk upon the second carriage, and thf, and both her arms broken. One man had his face crushed in such a manner as to force his eye-balls from his head. As soon as possible the wounded, the dying and the dead were conveyed to Brighton. The latest official accounts estimate the killed at 25, and the wounded at 100-- some of the latter are not expected to recover.
