THE WORST RAILROAD wreck il
1903, perhaps the worst since the
great Ashtabula disaster, was the one
which IS reported from Laurel Run.
Pa, on the line Of the Baltimore < Onto
railroad without a seconds warning
sixty-three lives were sacrificed and
dozens Of passengers We're more or less
seriously injured. The catastrophe was
one Of those which seem beyond the
power Of human thought to prevent,
except in one or two important. par
ticuIars.
A fast passenger train was permitted
to run only fifteen minutes behind "a
freight train. 1t would seem that this
is a very narrow margin, but it is not
an unusual one. Under ordinary cir
cumstances the freight train would
have been able to keep its distance until
it reached q siding where the passenger
could pass it. Tn this instance the
freight train actually did keep its dis
lance but the castings on carload cf
lumber broke and precipitated the tim
Der to the track.
The break does not seem to have
been noticed by the train crew. which
viii startle many who read Of the
wreck. The only way to account for
this is on the theory that the train was
made up without any caboose, or et
least with the car OF lumber behind the
caboose, in itself most unusual pro-
.ceeding. Had the car Of lumber been
between the caboOse and the engine
r.f
bic for the castings TO break and throw
the lumber on the track without wreck
ing the freight train. Had this been
the case the passenger could have been
tagged, for there was plenty Of time
But a searching investigation as 20
the responsibility for the disaster viii
doubtless be made by competent au-
thorities- For the present we may COR
template only the appalling loss of
life. In one crowded car not q single
human being escaped death. in an o.
them passengers were injured. some Of
the coaches were literally splintered
and the steam from the engine sealded
to death many who were pinned under
the wreckage.
The speed at which the train was
moving is best illustrated By the state
ment that the big 7,0O0-gallon tank on
! the engine tender was thrown 100 feet
ahead Of the debris So the surprising
feature is that any passengers at an
/ escaped destruction. The wreck dev=l-
oped at least one hero whose perform
auce throws a shaft OF bright light
over the gloomy scene. This was Thorn
as J. Baum. baggagemaster.
With blood streaming from doz=n
wounds in his head and body. Baum
remembered that another passenger
train was following close behind. Re
/ gardIess Of his injuries he went back
20 flag it. Removing his coat he set
! fire to it with matches. His signal
was seen and the train saved. His
work done, Baum fell fainting within
( a few feet of the engines pilot.
