the head of the express striking the rear
end Of the local while the latter was

The board finds the responsibility for

local should have thrown fuzes to warn
The express: second, upon the conductor
of the local, who should have satisfied
himself fuzes had been thrown or proper
precautions had been taken to protect the
rear OF his train: third; on the engineer
of the express upon whom the more helm
GUS responsibility lies,, who was not only
aware the local train was liable to be be-
hind time, but knew, or should have
known, that he was running ahead of his
own time against the rules and would ap-
parently have struck the LEGAL train when
he was under full headway, only fora the
superior vigilance of his fireman.
