something of the trip. we started at

cars [were?] going through the last 
tunnel two of the ties broke and the 
cars runs off the track and [...ed?] 
The [...ing?] general broke 2 cars 
up pretty bad tore the axels from  
under them and [...amed?] every thing 
up in a pile there was one man 
standing on the platform he was
