Summary
Photo post card of DAR locomotive No. 10 derailed at Canning, November 9, 1912. The locomotive was on a Kingsport bound train approaching the level crossing of Chapel Road beside the Canning School when one of the axles broke. The locomotive and the baggage car derailed and tumbled down a 16 foot embankment, while the passenger car and several freight cars remained on the track. The conductor, Augustus Wilbur Dickie of Canning (1861-1949) broke his wrist. He had just returned to work after being off for three months with a broken leg.[1] The engineer Thomas William Hiltz (1878-1947) had a fractured skull and had to be rushed to Halifax on a special train for treatment.[2]
