Ing. A Chicago. Burlington & Quincy sub
urban train dashed into an Illinois Central

was Impossible to obtain. The flrst reports

toned. asserted that they passed Miller
avenue under a clear signal Miller avenue
Ii only short distance from where the
smwshnp occurred, and the freight crew
claim that when the crash came the red
lights ON the rear OF the Illinois Central
train we're burning with extreme dinmess.
To this the fearful result following was at
tributed without hesitation.
The other people state that the Burling-
ton train was behind time and running at a
reckless rate and that TO this was due tho
fact that the engineer could not stop when
he saw the Illinois Central lights. The lat
ter train was 'shloeked' and was waiting to
be released when ran into
