Freiaht Wreck the Cause.

A little freight wreck on the Rock
Island at Shellsburg was the Indirect
cause of the Green Mountain tragedy.
The Rock Island from Cedar Rapids
north had not cleared and it became
necessary to detour over the Great
Western. Trains 19 and q were sent
from Cedar Rapids and Marshalltown,
coupled together. Both engines were
coupled on in front, running back
ward. The composite train consisted
of thirteen cars The Pullman was
next to the engine. Then came the
smoker and day coach, in which were
many women and children. The train
was going twenty-eight miles an hour
when it reached a twelve-foot cut at
the top of a hill five miles beyond
Green Mountain.
