Report Made in Spite Of Tests

Faulty Brake Claim.
TELL OF STAMFORD WRECK
Members of Committee Say Lo-
comotive No. 1888, Which
Killed Many, Was in Good,
Serviceable Condition"

The committee OF experts assigned TO
investigate the equipment, particularly
the brakes, OF the locomotive which de-
stroyed the Pullman car skylark in the
Stamford wreck on June l2. yesterday
turned in a report saying, in effect. the
engine was in good condition and in no
way defective.
The report was made in spite OF the
fact that an engine used in an official ron
last week to test the story OF Engineer
Doherty regarding brake inefficency bore
out his statements. running by the Stam-
ford station after the air had been ap-
piled to a point occupied by the Skylark.
The four members OF the committee who
signed this report are 7. j. Langdon,
general air brake inspector OF the Lacka-
wanna Railroad; c. W. Martin. general
air brake and steamboat inspector OF the
Pennsylvania, and T. L. Burton and c. II.
Lorimer. Of the Westinghouse Air Brake
Company.

Same Engine and Cars.

on the morning OF Tuesday. June Il,
engine No 1888. which figured in the
fatal wreck. was put under steam and at
tached 10 the same cars 1t was drawing
when It plunged into the passenger train.
Aboard were Langdon. Martin. II. W. Bel
knap, chief inspector Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission F. a. Howard, his
assistant, and Chief Engineer Elwell. OF
the Connecticut Public Utilities Commis-
sion.
Nine successive times the wreck spe-
clal" was sent booming over the section
OF track on which the wreck occurred in
series OF practical woi king tests Of the
air brake system which Engineer Doherty
testified failed him at the critical moment.
After the brakes were applied the loco
motive came TO a stop in from forty 10
forty-seyen seconds, but there was wide
discrepancy IN the distances registered.
which ranged from 2.40O down to l,S00
feet
For the sixth test the engineer was m
structed 10 duplicate as nearly as possible
Dohertys actions on the day OF the fatal
ity. with the result that the engine dashed
on for more than go feet past the point
where the Skylark had stood.
In the face Of these facts that part Of
yesterdays report affecting the test and
the preparations for IL says:
"On Tuesday. June Il, the locomotive
being under steam. we made a thorough
test OF the air brake equipment on the To-
comouve and tender before taking the
train out for road test. We found the
pump and pump governor operated prop
erly
I'VE tested the air gauges and found
them TO he correct We also tested the
pressure regulating devices. and they We're
found 10 be adjusted for and maintaining
the desired air pressure In the brake pipe
and main reservoir. namely 10 pounds
and l3O pounds. respectively.
we measured all the brake levers, had
each one weighed, and calculated the
braking power Of the cars and found that
the average percentage OF braking power
IS slightly higher than Is recommended
BY the Master Car Builders Association
for passenger equipment cars.
The above mentioned inspection and
test demonstrated 10 our satisfaction that
the brake equipment on this train was in
good average condition; but for the pur-
pose OF determining more definitely the
actual performance OF the brakes as
whole in road service the train was taken
out for road tests
