 The responsibility for the wreck has net yet been fixed but the investigation indicates that it was caused by Engineer charles Courtney, of Section No. 5, run n1ng by the station this side of West Chi caeo without being released.

TLcre can be no doubt that the scarlet signal for caution was exhibited
 Engineer Courtney declares that the signal displayed denoted a clear track He also says that he was running care fully and that there was ample time to stop his train after he had sighted the train in front, but for some reason the air brakes refused to work.
