Excerpt from Fifty-First Annual Report of the Railroad Commissioners of the State of New Hampshire: 1895 Witnesses: L. C. Elliott, engineer, Nashua; F. P. Mellen, fireman, Nashua; Charles H. Sanborn, conductor, Nashua; Irving A. Goodwin, brakeman, Nashua; Charles J. Fitzgerald, brakeman, Nashua. About 10 o´ clock in the evening of the 19th of December, 1894, a shifter engine which was at work in the Nashua yard of the Boston Maine Railroad took sight or ten freight cars from the up-town tracks to that portion of the yard known as the Farms, about a mile below. Six men went down with the train - the conductor, engineer, fireman, and three brakemen, one of whom was Silvia Leblanc, who rode upon the top of one of the cars. On reaching the Farms, one section of the train was cut off and kicked upon a side track. Then a second sec tion, which included the car on which Leblanc rode, was cut off and kicked upon another track, but it did not run quite far enough to clear, and Leblanc motioned the conductor who in turn motioned the engineer to back up and give it another kick, which was done. At or about the time the engine struck the cars which it was to move further up the track, Leblanc fell between two of them and was run over and so badly crushed that he died soon afterwards. No one saw him fall, but a moment after he was seen with his lantern upon the top of the car he was found beneath the wheels. It is impossible to say whether he was jolted off by the coming to gether of the cars and locomotive or by the sudden movement of the car when he let off the brake which the other trainmen think had been set all the way down and was the reason why the car did not run into the side track as far as it was expected to do when it was first kicked away from the engine.
