| 1897-01-28 | 1897-01-21 | Barrys Bay | The unusual record of immunity from serious accident which the Ottawa, Arnprior & Parry Sound railway has enjoyed since it opened for traffic, was broken last evening by a casualty which occurred near Barry's Bay, resulting in the death of three train hands and the injury of another. ... The train to which the accident occurred was No. 60, way freight, which left Ottawa yesterday morning at 8:30, in charge of conductor Aris and engineer William Taylor. ... Four miles above Barry's Bay is a short side track, known as O'Brien's siding. It was here the disaster occurred. ... Just as the siding was reached the engine jumped the track, through what cause is not yet known, although it is surmised that an open switch had to do with the run-off. Two cars were standing on the siding. Into these the derailed engine crashed and was thrown into the ditch. Transcribed by Colin J.
