In the seventh printing of "Cinders and Smoke" on page twenty four, there are two pictures of the wreck. The caption below it states
"On December 21,1919 this mixed train traveling to Durango hit a rock slide south of Tacoma. The head engine, 270 jumped the track, took the flanger and engine 263 with it into the water. Fireman Hindelang jumped from the train and was not hurt, but engineer Louis Johnson was injured and fireman John Connor was crushed to death beneath the wreckage. Both engines were repaired and remained in service for many years."
