January 6, 1865
 
   An accident occurred to the train of the Buffalo Bayou, Brazos, & Colorado Railroad on Thursday last {12/22/64}, caused by the track spreading and throwing off two passenger, and four freight cars. None of the passengers were injured, although many made narrow escapes. The cars were badly injured, and the trains have been delayed a day or two in consequence, but will be running regularly again to-day. The accident took place one mile this side of Richmond. No blame can be attached to any of the employees of the company.
