Dunlops, VA Express Wrecks, June 1903
WRECK ON ATLANTIC COAST LINE.
Richmond, Va., June 27. -- There was a fatal wreck on the Atlantic coast line at Dunlops, just north of Petersburg, this morning at 9 o'clock, when the Norfolk and Western Cannon Ball train, the fastest on the road, dashed into a freight on a siding with destructive results. There was an unverified rumor that five passengers were killed, but it is believed here that all escaped serious injury.
