  I chuckled when I came across the article, so I figured others might enjoy a chuckle also.

    Now that is good journalism......"Mr. Thompson plowed up considerable of the landscape with his face"  I love it.

      Bluefield Daily Telegraph
      December 27, 1907

      GOT OFF FAST-MOVING TRAIN
      ------
      Did Not Stop but Passenger Was Not Carried by His Station
      ------
          On the night before Christmas Ed Thompson was returning from Keystone to his home at Huger on No. 3.  That train does not stop at Hugar, but an enterprising passenger who doesn't mind a thing like that can get off anyway.  Mr. Thompson got off, but he was not able to celebrate Christmas to any considerable extent after the feat.  Mr. Thompson plowed up considerable of the landscape with his face, but suffered no serious injuries.
