hearsay
Somewhere about here '12 miles from Carlisle' there was an accident, 6 March 1840. The mail coach in a train was derailed by the loaded coal wagons behind, and thrown down an embankment. The mail guard, Thomas Dougall, was killed - perhaps the first ever fatality to a Post Office railwayman.
