   Sergeant McNelty R.I.C. of Ballintubber was first to render assistance. The Station Master in Ballymoe was a Mr. Judge. The old goat was buried alive it is said.
   Here is a very crude song which was composed at the time. It was taken down by Peter Govern of Clooneygrasson from his father Thomas Govern. The author is unknown.

   It was in the Spring time of the year,
   I hear the people say.
   A sad disaster had occurred,
   On the midland Great Railway And within one mile of Ballymoe,
   To quote it I won't fail.
   At the level crossing nigh Snipehill,
   the mail train was derailed,
   The scene of this occurence,
   was hearting for to see.
   One promising young Gentleman,
   Went to Eternity.
   The dying dead and wounded,
   On the turf they helpless lay,
   Awaiting medical Assistance,
   until the dawn of day. The cause of this disaster.
