driver, who acted with much caution, but had he been a .
reckless man they must have been " all completely
smashed." It is considered a favourable circumstance
that a heavy engine was attached to the train, as a light
one in such a collision most have mounted the trucks,
instead of driving them aside. By the shock the engine
and the trucks were much damaged, and injury was done
to the permanent way. It was two o'clock on Tuesday
morning before traffic could be resumed, and it was not
till that hour that some of the people who had been hurt
were conveyed by train to Wolverhampton and Dudley.
With regard to the cause of the accideut, it may be said
that just previous to the accident some shunting had
been going on, and in one of the Park Head sidings sortie
waggons had been left, and aftee the remainder of the
luggage train had been withdrawn it was driven into the
adjacent siding. When this had taken place the signal
was given for the passenger train to come on, but at the
same time the vagrant trucks left on the first siding had
run down upon the main line, and the collision occurred.
Thus, it will be seen that the signalman neglected to
"lock the points" before lowering the signal. Early on
Tuesday morning, Mr. Edwards, District Superintendent, 1
Mr. Grill, and other officials were at the scene of the
occurrence. j DIED.
