On the night of the train wreck, Kathleen Coxford was heading to Almonte Station to meet her friend Millie. They had plans to see the train off that night. Halfway to the station, she heard a loud crash, and then yelling. Arriving at the Bell Telephone Office where her friend Millie worked, Kathleen found it packed with people trying to call home to say they were ok.
