The Dalles, Oregon Train Wreck
February 1890
A TERRIBLE WRECK.
[Special to the Enquirer:]
San Francisco, February 7. --- Owing to
the heavy rains and washouts west of the Dalles,
Oregon, and also in the Williamette Valley there
has been no telegraphic communication with
Portland, Ore., or with points on Puget Sound
since yesterday morning. A telegram received in
this city from the Dalles stated that a
construction train with a gang of laborers which
left there to work on the track, went through a
bridge 69 feet high on Sunday. The engine passed
over safely, but the tender fell on the caboose
and killed ten men and injured sixteen.
Conductor FRENCH had his leg and
skull broken; Engineer
GEORGE was badly hurt, and
Brakeman SEELY was also injured. A
train with three doctors left for the scene of
the accident, which occurred about a mile and a
half west of Cascade Locks, in Wasco county. The
bridge was rendered unsafe by the late heavy
rains.
