Gravel train accident at Clipper Gap, 1875

From: "Roger Blair" rblair@oregontrail.net

I would like to find out more about an April 23, 1875 gravel train accident at Clipper Gap, in which Geo. F. L. Hoth and A. Buck were killed. Are there official CPRR records of an investigation that I might explore – or other information on this event? Other sources?

CPRR rails used in Colorado gauging station

From: "Brodbeck, Mark" Mark.Brodbeck@hdrinc.com

We are researching this structure found along the Colorado River near Bullhead City, Arizona. It sits at the edge of the old flood plain and appears to be an old gauging station. It is built with old railroad rails that are marked "CAMMELL SHEFFIELD TOUGHENED STEEL CPRR Co 1881".

Any information of the age of the rails, where they might have come from, the Cammell Sheffield Company, and on uses such as this would be appreciated.
