Train Wreck At Sykesville - Three Men Injured When A B. & O. Freight Engine Was Derailed; 26 Cars Piled Up—Three trainmen were seriously scalded by steam Saturday afternoon when a freight train was derailed on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad At Sykesville and a section of the rail pierced the locomotive boiler.

Twenty-six cars of the 73-car train were derailed. Eight cars were overturned and witnesses said that they were "a mass of twisted wreckage.”

Officials of the B. & O. said, that the old main line now used only for freight traffic, will probably be closed by the wreckage until late in the afternoon. According to State police, the three injured men were riding in the cab of the locomotive at the time of the accident.
