1t was a rear-end collision between
South Norwalk local that ran in over
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad and was halted by block sig
mails at the southern entrance of the
tunnel and a White Plains local that
came by the Harlem branch of the New
York Central. The wreck occurred at
S:17 a. M, at which hour the trains
were crowded by suburbanites. Most
of the death, injury and damage was
wrought by the engine of the White
Plains train, which plunged into the
rear car of the motionless train and
was driven through to the middle OF
the car, smashing the seats and fur
nishings and splitting the sides as il
moved forward. The victims were
either mangled in the mass OF
wreckage carried at the pilot, crushed
in the space between boiler or car sides
or scalded by steam which came Kissing
from broken pipes and cylinders. The
engine, in its final plunge of 40 feet
carried the rear car forward and sent
twisted iron, broken timbers and splin-
ters crashing into the coach ahead.
j. Fl. Franklin said this is the thir6

mel. The first took place in November
1882, when 20 persons were killed. The
second occurred February 20, 1891
