The fragmeut consisted of the engine, the mail car, the combination baggage and smoker, the day coach and oue sleeper. The engine was a sad wreck, there being literally nothing left of it except the boiler and wheels, and cylinder. The cab was gone, and all other upper parts with it including steam box, sand box and smoke stack and also the cowcatcher. The engine was also still covered thick with dirt and sand. The cars were not in so bad a shape, though their vestibule fronts were all caved in. The blind baggage car which was so totally wrecked was set fire to and burned up, where it lay.
