The Railroad Accident On q ksand
Wharf, Es rFt
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 27.-ro'
day A. N. Towne. General Super
intepdent, and Mr.. Fillmore, As
sistapt General Superintendent,
,aid that the accident ives caused
by the failure of the engineer of
the special train to obey orders.
The instructions are clear and posi-
tive for all incoming trains on the
northern track to come TO fuIl
stop at this switch and walt until
it is seen that the way is clear.
The Oakland or local trains have
the right of way and they are re-
ouired to slow down when ap-
proachiug the switch. This rule
applies alike to incoming and out
going trains on the local route.
There is an impression at railroad
headuuarters that the engineer
ymiscalculated his whereabouts or

else. Mr.. Towne says the speed of
the train when the engineer
saw the danger ahead was
about twelve or fifteen miles an
hour. Ifit had been much greater
several cars would have been pre-
cipitated into the bay on top of the
engine He believes that the en-
gineer's body is under the lOcOmo-
tive, and will be recovered when
the wreck Is removed. 1t the
switch had been set to allow the
special to pass on down to the
wharf, q collision might have oc-
Cured with the Oakland train go-
ing out from the slips. AS 1t was
the engineer of the outgoing train,
seeing that the special was not
stopping according to the rule, ap-
piled the air-brakes and brought
his train to full stop.
The railroad officers said that the
application OF the air-brake on the
special train prevented disaster in
which many lives might have been
lost.
Theswitch, according to the the.
Ory at railroad headquarters, was
not misplaced but properly placed
for the train going from the ferry
slip to Oakland.
