It proved to be a freight car heavily laden with hay, which sped down through the valley at the rate of from 30 to 40 miles per hour, until it arrived at the winding track leading along the river between Gold Ray and Gold Hill and the upgrade leading into Gold Hill, which checked Its mighty momentum.
