The cause OF the wreck had not yet

but that this order was changed later

that Schmanke overlooked this
change in orders and expected to
meet number G At Fowler. Both
trains were travelling at a fair rate
OF speed when the wreck occurred.
The fact hat no passenger was
killed is attributed to the fact that
both trains carried all steel coaches.
