The Cause.
Carelessness of trainmen caused the
wreck. Instructed to meet a special
freight train at Willard, the engineer
and conductor of the Inflated passen'
ger train noting that a freight train
stood on the sidetrack at Willard,
rushed through, thinking that the cars
they had seen were the ones which
they had been instructed to pass. Fail
ure to scrutinize the number of the
engine was directly responsible for
the collision. Had the engineer COM
h. ~ froin at WI.
lard with his orders, the accident
would have been averted.
Two Cars Demolished:
Both trains were running at high
speed and when the engines met they
were welded together by, the. terrific
impact. The engineer and fireman on
the freight escaped without injury by
Jumping. The fireman on the passen'
ger train was seriou ly injured, but
the engineer escaped. It was in the
third car of the passenger train, the
first coach having been preceded by
smoker and baggage car, that the
greatest loss of life occurred. The
smoker, which was occupied by only
two or three men, was overturned and
pushed through the car behind 1t,
which latter was crowded with pas.
sengers, some standing in the aisle. ,
When rescue was finally possible
only three living. persons were taken
out by the r:scuers, who were COM
PEELED to chop holes in the side and
through the floor and top Of the coach
to reach them.
