MANY KILLED in
train WRECK.
NEW YORK CENTRAL TRAIN
CRASHES THROUGH MicHI-
GAN CENTRAL.
80 DEAD IN COLLISION
ENGINEER FAILED TO SEE SIG,
NAL AS TWo TRAINS RUSH
TOGETHER.

Porter, Ind, Feb. 2S.-Thirty-three
persons were killed in the collision
here of New York Central and Mlchi-
gan Central trains.
New York Central train No 151,
New York and Boston to Chicago,
ploughed through Michigan Central
train No. 20, Chicago to Detroit and
Toronto, demolishing wooden coach,
combination passenger and baggage
car, and killing or injuring practical
ly every person in it.
The wreck occurred at lonely
junction point about fifty miles from
Chicago
1t was two hours before the first
relief train arrived and only efforts
of volunteer fire fighters prevented
many of the injured from being burned
to death.
The accident was caused, according
to railway officials, when the Aiichi-
gan Central train crew failed to OBJ
serve stop signals at the intersection
of the two roads, and was thrown
onto the New York Central tracks from
the derail switch.
1t was stated that the Michigan
Central train should have stopped and
allowed the New York Central train
the right of way.
Both the engineer and firemen of
the Michigan Central train are being
held.
When the Michigan Central train hit
the derailing switch at the cross-over,
it plOughed across the ties for more
than 800 feet and stopped with the
wooden coach in the path of the New
York Central train.
The heavy engine struck the coach
at an angle, ground it into splinters,
left the rails, ploughed hole in the
earth and turned over on it's side.
Anthony Foster of Porter, who was
standing 220 feet from the crossing
when the wreck occurred, said he was
attracted by the screeching of the
brakes on the Michigan Central train.
Il was Mortified when l saw the
New York Central train approaching
at high speed as the Michigan Cen
tral train lay across the tracks Of the
New York Central" he said.
"The New York Central train ap7
preached at nearly fifty miles an
hour, and was so close before the
Michigan Central train was thrown in
it's path that the frantic efforts to
stop the train were unavailing.
"The crash demolished two coaches
of the Michigan Central train and laid
both engines in a tangled mass in the
ditch.
''The injured were rushed to Mich
igan City and scattered through pri-
vate homes"
The fireman was pinned beneath his
engine and scalded to death, and the
engineer died two hours later.
Most of the injured were passen-
gers on the New York Central train
who were thrown from their seats
when the emergency brakes were ap-
piled.
The dead were practically all pas
sengers in the demolished day coach
and were mostly residents of nearby
points.
