cal. that came by the Harlem branch
of the New York Central. The wreck
occurred at S:11 a. m. at which hour
the trains are crowded by suburban
ties. Most of the deaths. injuries
and damage was caused by the engine
of the White Plains train, which
plunged into the rear car of the mo-
tionless train, and was driven through
/ to the middle of the car smashing the
seats and splitting the sides as 1t

ear forward and sent twisted iron,
broken timbers and splinters crashing,
into the coach ahead. Lights were eX-
tinguished and from the wreckage and
darkness came the cries of injured
and calls for assistance by those who
escaped. Within a few minutes the
