The wreck occurred one hour and
forty-f1ve minutes after the conclave
visitors, forming a merry party. had
spent all the morning sightseeing in
Santa Barbara. The statement that
the train was making terrific speed
when 1t struck the defective track is
borne out by the fact that it covered
the sixty-one miles of curves and
Honda in exactly one hundred min
utes.
The special plunged upon the defec'
tive switch and in an instant the big
locomotive, baggage car, diner and
Pullman coupled with it were hurled
together in a huge heap Of wreckage.
The engine shot forward on the broken
track, tearing up the rails and ties
and twisting the huge iron spans into
fish-hooks. The baggage car half bur
led itself in the sand on the right side
of the locomotive. 1t was sma ashed al
most to kindling wood.
The dining car, in which were thirty
two people, leaped into the air and was
thrown directly on top of the demol-
ished locomotive. Nearly every per
son in this coach was instantly killed.
Scores were scalded by steam from dis
connected pipes in the diner.
