N. & W. PASSENGER TRAIN IN SMASH-UP
------
    Portsmouth, O., Dec. 3. -- A Norfolk and Western passenger train came in collision at Hearon today with a commuter train taking a hundred people to work.  Several passengers will die and many are reported seriously injured.

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
December 4, 1903

[Does anyone know where Hearon was?  What "commuter train" did the N&W operate?  Finally, I did not see any follow-up articles in the Bluefield newspaper about this accident.  Strange!]
