[PRCo] Scott Haven car derailment, February 1913

[ehlybarger at yahoo.com]

 Thought that was likely to be the case.  The date sounded fishy to me.

 It has to be an error in NewspaperArchive's dating. 
"an electric car on the Scott Haven division of the West Penn railways jumped the track near Coulterville, Pa., 20 miles from Pittsburg, and went over a 200-footembankment, killing five persons. "

 I didn't realize that "the list" was still in business. FYI, the photo came through to me as written code.

 I'm confused here by the date cited (I can't read the link because I'm not enrolled) as 1913.  On February 6, 1912, West Penn had a Scott Haven car tumble over the hill at the country club, killing five.  Lots of newspaper headlines at the time.  Is there any chance that this newspaper archive got the date wrong?  I don't have any information about a derailment out there a year later, though that doesn't mean there wasn't one.
Daria, can you make a Word or PDF document out of the archive item so I can read what it says?
Thanks,Ed
