Chugwater wreck [was] Re: [CBQ] Re: 1958 Wreck

[Norm Metcalf <n.metcalf@worldnet.att.net>]

Jim Stewart was the agent at Chugwater when that happened.  He told me 
that he had a sudden urge to do a yard check and left the depot just 
before it was demolished by the wreckage.  He had a scrapbook with 
clippings and material about the derailment. He said that he was one 
lucky man.
