The P. & R.'s through freight from Reading to Lancaster came to grief on April 21, 1896 when it collided with a run-away box car just north of Manheim. The Reading's Number 1093 was thrown on its side killing the front breakman. Possibly a budding railroadiana collector, the lad closest to the locomotive may have been considering the prudency of making off with the locomotive's bell bu the locomotive was reassembled and operated until 1920.
