From the December, 1907 issue of Erie Railroad Magazine (Susquehanna Division news):
While running the southern tier express on November 4 (1907) engineer Phillip Young had a lively experience and a narrow escape from a serious accident. When betwen Binghamton and Langdon the steel tire of one of the driving wheels burst and smashed the floor of the cab in which Young was standing. Mr. Young at once applied the emergency, and, as the train was going too rapidly for him to jump with safety, stuck to his cab until the train was stopped. The side of the engine was pretty badly smashed, and things were very lively in the cab for a while, but Mr. Young escaped without injury and the train stayed on the track, fortunately, so that aside from the damage to the engine, everything came out all right.

From the June 28, 1909 issue of The New York Times:
Binghamton, NY, June 27 -- Two were killed in a wreck on the Erie when, at 3 o'clock this morning the Wells-Fargo Express, known on the timecard as No. 13, struck a derailed freight car lying across the westbound track. The dead are Henry Dolan, the fireman of the Express, of Hornell, and Oliver Turner of Binghamton. Engineer Philip Young of Corning, who was badly scalded, was the only other person injured.

A wheel flange of a car in the middle of an eastbound freight train broke. As the train was stopped the defective car was thrown out from the train across the westbound track. The wreck occurred on a curve. Before flagmen could be sent out the westbound Wells-Fargo Express came tearing around the curve and struck the derailed car.

The locomotive of the express was thrown down the embankment at a small culvert, tearing out the culvert. The second express car was thrown entirely over the first baggage car and the locomotive.
