Biographical notes:

The rear coach of the train was uncoupled in order to attach it to the Ward train, but the brake chain broke and the car coasted down the grade. All the passsengers jumped to safety before the empty coach jumped the track.

From the description of Denver, Boulder & Western railroad wreck. 1909 July 16. (Boulder Public Library). WorldCat record id: 427378025
