FREIGHT CRASHES
INTO PASSENGER
Serious Wreck on The Central Vermont
Railroad at South Royalton Yes
terday Afternoon--Th Men
Badly Hurt.

South Royalton, Jan. 19.---A heavily
loaded gouthbound freight train crashed
into a northbound passenger train on
the Central Vermont railroad quarter
of mile north Of this village yesterday
afternoon, iniuring three Of the crew Of
the latter train and strewing the track
with wreckage to that traffic was not
resumed until late hour last night.
The injured are:
John Holland, engineer Of the passen-
ger train, several ribs broken. collar
bone broken and deep cut on head.
N. Larsen. fireman on passenger train.
shoulder dislocated
Mail clerk sArniugton Of passenger
train, right arm broken and perhaps in
iured internally
The passenger train reached South Roy-
alton on time and left at 2:90 accord.
ing to the schedule The crew had 10
orders that there was freight train
coming to meet them, and, in fact, the
freight train was special, anyway
which was running on its own time with
no orders except TO reach South Royal
ton before the passenger was due to
leave. The passenger train had passed
the switch which was to allow the
freight to take the siding and was lust
getting under full sped when the crash
came.
Meanwhile engineer Bronson Of the
freight was making for the South Roy
alton switch as rapidly as his heavy
train would permit. He reports that
he had two minutes in which to make
the switch before the passenger train
was due. But it seems that his crew
were OH the watch for the passenger
train, as they jumped Just before the
two engines came together at curve
in the track, while the crew of the pas
senger train knew nothing OF the inn
pending danger and therefore could not
save themselves. Being warned, the
freight crew escaped uninjured.
At the time the trains came together
the freight was travelling at speed
estimated to be 20 miles an hour, this
rate being accounted for by the fact
that the train was late and would barely
be able to make the switch before the
northboand mail was due TO leave Had
the latter train been as late as usual.
the freight might easily have made the
siding. The impact drove the engines
into themselves, crumplina the iron sides
like tin. Three cars Of the freight were
splintered to pieces and the mail and
the baggage cars telescoped with each
other the mail car being driven into the
other The passenger cars in the rear
did not leave the iron and the passengers
in them were not injured, except for
being strewn about BY the force Of the
collision.

ger in both the cars were killed
The passenger train was running at
a high rate of speed when it crashed
into the rear end of the freight. The

dience of orders.

ruins were roasted to death.
1t is believed that 25 OF the injured
