New York, 1895
Wynn Cunningham, aged 35 years, a brakeman on the Long Island railroad, stepped from a freight train Thursday afternoon just as it was leaving Lawrence station and his foot was run over by one of the wheels. He was attended by Dr. Schmuck. He will probably lose his foot.
While coupling an engine to its train for the 7:50 o'clock train Thursday night Gilbert Farrington, a brakeman, had his right hand crushed between the bumpers.
—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, May 24, 1895, p. 4.
