| hearsay |
||
| Somewhere about here '12 miles from Carlisle' there was an accident, 6 March 1840.
The mail coach in a train was derailed by the loaded coal wagons behind, and thrown
down an embankment. The mail guard, Thomas Dougall, was killed - perhaps the first
ever fatality to a Post Office railwayman. |
