BAD TRAIN WRECK
NEAR M|LbRAE.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

a
SAN MATEO, Aug. 1S.-Carelessness
upon the part of train crews and
watchmen resulted in a wreck and tie
up of the coast system of the South
ern Pacific Company between San
Francisco and San Jose for the greater
part of today. No one was killed or
injured, but the loss in rolling stock
will be considerable.
The wreck occurred on the main line
between Colma and Milbrae. Regular
freight 332 telescoped two cars of
special stock train upon straight
track in broad daylight. The accident
took place at 5:45 a. m, and 1T was
not until p. m. that trains were able
to pass the spot.
Engineer M. E. Moore of regular
freight 332 lays the blame at the door
Of Conductor Moor and the crew Of the
special train. The special stopped In
the middle of a block near the juno
tion of the maine line track with the
spur that connects with South San
Francisco to wait for the early morn
ing passenger local from San Jose and
instead Of displaying red lights or
sending a man back to flag the regular
freight and place torpedoes on the
roadbed, the approach In the rear was
left unguarded.
How the onrushing special could
have approached the stationary train
on a straight track in open day is
what is puzzling railroad officials.
Conductor Moor did not remain upon
the scene, as only the two last cars
of his train were damaged. The en-
gine of No. 332 telescoped the caboose
for it's own length and was badly dam
aged. The trucks. stack and connect
ing rods were broken.
The south and north bound trains
were obliged to stop on either side of
the single track upon which the
wreck occurred during the greater
