Collision on Southern.
A collision occurred this morning about
10 o'clock in the yard Of the Southern rail-
road here between north-bound passenger
train No. 30 and a Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad engine which was shifting some
cars In the yard. Both locomotives were
badly damaged. and traffic was temporarily
blocked. The Chesapeake and Ohio engine,
which was No. LIE, was struck a terrific
sianting blow by the rapidly moving South
ern train. Engineer Redd. who was in the
cab Of No. rs, escaped by jumping. Unless
he had taken this action in time 1t is be-
Heved that he would surely have been killed
or severely injured, as the cab on his side
was reduced to splinters. 1t is said that
the accident was the result of a wrong
switch being turned, which allowed the
engine to start out on the main
track just as the Southern passenger train
came along. The Chesapeake and Ohio en-
CINE was just beginning to cross to the
rails Of the main track when the collision
occurred. Beyond shaking up no one was
injured.
