Harry Etheberl Mounce Locomotive Engineer being sworn saith
I started work at 7 P.M. on 24 July 1919. I had a conductor brakeman Samuel Mellar. Our first work was to [turn?] out No. 4 to bring in coal to No. 6
We hacked down the [sereo?] hack taking out a car as
we were short of cars. There were three cars there
already. This was about 8.15 P.M. After switching the
west end we came back along the main line pulling
the loaded cars up the screen track. We then came
back down on to the lump coal hack and pulled 6 cars
to the [No. 6?] yard. There was still one car left on
the lump coal track under the shoot. From there we
went down to the M and 12 empty coal cars and on
that freight car with pikes and took those to No. 4 putting part
on the coal hack and the others on the screen hack
The west end. There were two of us doing this.
This is not my regular work. I am in the round house.
From this [engineal?] night but this pulling the mens
cars to and from the [ ? ] but this work I was
doing this night was a special occasion but
I do not as a rule [seartch? scratch?] the coal cars. After we

Cumberland, and coupled on to the [Seneca?] coaches
island there [ ? ] co 30. We started them to No 4
[ ? ] with the two workmens coaches pushing
the coaches ahead of the engine in car next to
the engine. I judge there were about 15 men in the
car ahead. I did not see anyone in I did not
walk all the way through the head car. I then
went as far as Ohara town stopping there taking on
more workmen. From there as far as [ ? ] Japtown
taking on more workmen. From there we cond. to
No. 4 [ ? ], when I came to the east end switch loading to the
coal track I stopped suddenly. Something

steam on my engine at the time the train was dressing
As soon as I got the [chock?] I immediately refersed the engine
