The wreck occurred one hour and
forty-five minutes after the conclaTo
visitors, forming Il merry party, had
spent all the morning sightseeing in
Santa Barbara. The statement that
the train was making terrific speed
when it struck the defective track ia
borne out by the fact that it covered
the siXty-onc miles of curves and
crooked track between here and
Honda in exactly one hundred min.
uteS.
The special plunged upon the de:cc'
tive switch and in an instant the big
locomotive, baggage car, diner and
Pullman coupled with it were hurled
together in Il huge heap of wreckaEe.
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 smashed al
most to lindling wood.
The dining car. in which were thirty
two people, leaped into the air and was
thrown directly on top of the dcmol-
ished locomotive. Nearly every per-
son in this coach was instantly killed.
Scores were scalded by steam from dis
connected pipes in the diner.
