Middle Ga. Argus – Week of April 29, 1892
The engine on the Indian Spring & Flovilla railroad was wrecked on yesterday 
about one o’clock.  The engine was conveying a Central railroad car of lumber 
over to the Springs and in going down the hill approaching the town the brakes 
gave way and the train became unmanageable.  The crew all jumped for their 
lives and the engine and train rushed of at breakneck speed down the hill to 
the end of the road where it jumped off breaking the freight car into pieces 
and driving in the head of the engine.  The damage will be heavy.  It is with 
sincere regrets that we hear of this mishap to the pet road and trust it will 
be repaired at once.  Hacks will take its place to convey passengers to and 
from the Spring till the road is put in running order again.
