The accident occurred at ,o:20 this morning a short distance east of Downie, a station on the main line, thirty miles east of Revelstoke, about halfway between Illccillewaet and Albert Canyon in the high mountains. The tender, derailed in a slide on Sunday, had been uncoupled from the engine after the slide had struck the work train. The crew had got the tender back on the track and it was being taken to Illccillewaet attached motive. The tender started back down the grade toward the train which was stalled in a cut in the slide. Picking up terrific momentum, it plunged into the train, catching trainmen, officials and laborers who were warming themselves in and about the side-tracked train. Some were in the engine cab. Doctors and nurses were rushed from Revelstoke and the injured were brought back to hospital. AH rail service east of Revelstoke has been tied up by slides at the scene of the smash-up. C. A. Cottcrell, assistant general manager of the Canadian Pacific Railway at Vancouver, is supervising operations at the scene of the wreck.
