Boiler Explosion near Wytheville.

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

The Norfolk Virginian - Pilot article indicated that the residents  of a
nearby house never knew of the explosion.  If you're familiar with the 
location of the incident, it's kinda hard to believe.  Louis  Newton
noted that the engine blew DOWN, not UP.  When the Traffic
Control panel went dark, the dispatcher called Signal Maintainer
McDaniel at  Wytheville to investigate.  Patrolling  from his motor
car, he rounded the curve and collided with the 2153.  No
injury.
