The train crews of the Twentieth
Century limited and the first section

solved. The engineer Of the latter
stopped because the block signal was

A contributing factor Of the wreck
was a heavy fog.
Although the New York Central

four of them passengers, lost their
lives. morgue officials disagreed, say
ing they had parts Of twenty-seveh
bodies. There were two bodies at
I.orain, two at Elyria and parts or
