| 1897-08-03 | A train of 13 cars was ditched on the line of the O. A. and P. S. on Saturday afternoon last. The accident occurred at Goshen station about 2 p. m. A freight train was coming east and at Goshen station either ran into an open switch or the rails spread. The engine remained on the track and also the van. The tender and 13 cars were thrown from the track into the ditch, and considerably damaged. ... The wrecking train was sent out from Ottawa and cleared the track in a short time. The express trains up and down were considerably delayed by the accident. None of the trainmen left the train, and were in no way injured. The Almonte Gazette says it happened 'near Goshen on Sunday'; the Ottawa Journal says Saturday afternoon. Churcher notes the Journal repeated the item on 4 August. | Ottawa Journal 1897-08-03(Transcribed by Colin J. Churcher in 'Local Railway...),Almonte Gazette 1897-08-08(Transcribed by Colin J.
