Fearful Wreck Narrowly Averted and other train deaths
The Fountain Herald - 1888 and 1903
Soon after the great explosion of 1888 and the destruction of the AT&SF depot, the D&RG was petitioned to build a depot in Fountain.
Note that person requesting this was Mr. Reed, secretery of the Fountain Town and Improvement Company. If he could secure a depot northeast of town, he would be better about to sell his new town lots there.

Although the source of these news items is not known, it is likely that an issue from 1888 was reprinted in a later newspaper (after 1936) and comments added.
