teen persons were injured, none seri-
ously, when passenger train No. 1888

but the locomotive of the passenger

tended by two physicians. Several

tive increased the speed of his en-
gine when he saw the passenger
train approaching on the single track
line. This probably lessened the
force of the impact How the freight
locomotive happened to be on the
track is not known.
