 With the rear coupling of the toppled carriage still attached to those behind, the remainder of the train was suddenly checked, and the momentum of the fifth and sixth carriages caused them to shoot upwards, and then fall in the same direction.The carriage that had fallen was completely crushed beneath the one to which it had been coupled.The remainder of the carriages were brought to a standstill, and although the seventh and eighth had left the rails, they did not fall.
