Causes Weird
Rail Accident
BY Press staff Correspondept

HAMBURG, Pa, Nov. IA
stuck throttle on the locomotive of

locomotive near here caused on of
the most freakish accidents in the

The train was travelling nearly
90 miles an hour when the engineer
suddenly discovered that he could
neither take off, nor put en- steam.
The train was rapidly approaching
station so he turned on the air and
brought the train to a stop with the
brakes.
But the wheels Of the locomotive
continued to revolve at n high
speed, wearing grooves in the rails
and creating a terrific noise. Tho
engine was stopped only after wa
ter had been poured on the fore to
reduce the steam pressure. It re.
quired over an hour to bring the
wheels to halt.
