I found quite a sensational story of a passenger train stranded on the east side of Alpine Tunnel in 1901 covered by several newspapers at the time.  I put together the details in an article (that was in The Bogies and the Loop a number of years ago).  I think you'll enjoy this story of starving passengers, potential boiler explosions, and a lost rescue train, all followed by a twist ending.

Enjoy!
