Raleigh Register October 29, 1862
Dreadful Collision on the Raleigh & Gaston Railroad

   On Monday night the train of cars going North came into collision with a 
train coming South, about 15 miles from this city, on a high embankment, and 
the most serious consequences ensure. Three persons were killed outright, and 
several wounded seriously. The cars were smashed up in a heap, to use the 
expression of our informant. One of the engine drivers -- but which we have 
not heard, was running out of time. The driver of the engine going North saved 
himself by jumping off the locomotive when he saw the collision was inevitable.
