The living room , kitchen and bathroom of their house at 5897 Marine Drive were demolished. The passing box cars also destroyed the Pretty's driveway and their two cars. The Prettys were asleep at the time in the bedroom wing which escaped unscathed. The Weill house at 5873 Marine, unoccupied at the time, was clipped by another boxcar on its way to Marine Drive. by Peter Hall High above Marine Drive, the track of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway (later renamed the British Columbia Railway and today part of the Canadian National Railway) snaked along the cliff side.
