Caption: "All that remains of No 16 after it blew up near Ringdale on October 5 1905, killing engineer Davy Davis and fatally injuring fireman Cleon Karshner. Davis was making the evening run from Satterfield to Halls which he had done for many years. Boiler explosions were usually caused by letting the water get too low in the boiler.
