Wrecked by a Train—in Farmington As related to Morrell by Elwin Father had waited for an O.S.L. freight train to clear a crossing. He was driving our Model T. Ford. At least Elwin was with him. Just after clearing the crossing, and without any warning, the train backed up and smashed in the side of the car. Noting what had happened, the train pulled forward, stopped, and the train men came over to the car, frightened and expecting a tongue-lashing. Father looked at the car and at the men and said: "Huh, Jucks! Isn't that fortunate? We might have all been killed!" 

(Soon after, by exerting leg muscles, they pushed outward the caved-in side of the car and it popped back into place.)'
