Memphis Daily State Journal
February 5, 1862

Part of Colonel Samuel B. Maxey's 9th Texas Infantry Regiment were en route from Little Rock to De Valls Bluff in several heavily loaded passenger cars, with a locomotive at each end of the train. Just before reaching De Valls Bluff, one of the cars became uncoupled and the forward engine shot on ahead; however, the engineer soon discovered the accident and held up for the cars in the rear. The engineer of the rear locomotive was unaware of the accident and crashed into the detached cars at full speed. The wreck resulted in ten soldiers being injured; one of the locomotives was heavily damaged and some of the cars sustained lighter damage.
