NP, MT 1/7/1865

From the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph
 
January 7, 1865
 
   A passenger train on the South Carolina Railroad, due at Augusta on Sunday at 5 o'clock, was detained for four or five hours by the breaking of an axle and smashing up of five passenger cars between White's and Windsor. One negro who was standing on the platform was killed. The loss of life it is believed would perhaps have been far greater had not the cars been double floored. The lower floor was torn up. The passengers came up in box cars.
