N&W in 1903 -- Wreck Attempt

[NW Mailing List]

ATTEMPT TO WRECK N. & W. TRAIN
------
    A dispatch from Winston-Salem says that an attempt was made to wreck the incoming train from Roanoke near Mayodan Tuesday night.  The engine ran into a rock larger than a man's head and a plank, the rock demolishing the pilot, stopping the train and delaying it an hour.  There is no clue to the guilty parties.
