WAS THE SWITCH TURNEDs
TryisE to Flnd Out why the Rear Tracts
Took the Wrong Track.

Tho New York Central officials have not yet
determined Just how the last coach OF the
Tuckahoe local train. on Wednesday evening.
"straddled" the switch at 14eth street. Cen.
eral Manager Platt OF the Grand Central Sta
ton said that 1t WAS avery strange occurrence.
He believes that the rear truck OF the coach
left the Harlem tracks entirely shortly after
passing the switch points. and moment later
the renr wheels leaped to the Hudson River
rails. In which position they. were when the
car struck tho ,abutmsnt. Of the overhead
tector bar " prevented the operator from turn
above It. II the switch was not thrown. per.
hnps there was defect in the rear truck or q
switch point WAS trifie out Of position. In
either case the wheels would leave the Harlem
tracks. y r.
General Superintendent Voorhees, was In
doubt as to how the affair had happened. He
thought that the "detector bar" prevented tho
operator IN the signal tower from turning tho
switch. Possibly the compressed air system
by which tho switches are operated In the
neighborhood did not work perfectly. -
There wi il be a thorough investigation. Tho
operator has not been suspended. He I'D.
mtted that he throw the switch for the follow.
ing train to take the Hudson River tracks. but
he thinks the last car of the Harlem local had
passed tho switch. ~ -. =
