WRECK BLAME PUT
ON DEAD ENGINEER
|. C. C. Says Automatic Con-
troll Would Have Blocked
PennSy Disaster.

Again declaring that an adequate
automatic train-stop or train-control
system in use on the line would have
prevented the accident, the Interstate
Commerce Commission today placed
the blame for the fatal accident on
the Pennsylvania Railroad near Gray.
Pa, June is on Engineman Gordon
of train 40. which collided with the
Washington Express FROM Pittsburgh
to Washington. Failure of Gordon to
control his train, the commission be-
lieved, was due to sudden death or
physical Interpretation.
The accident occurred about 81
miles east of Pittsburgh, and resulted
In the death of IL passengers and 4
employees, and the injury of 81 pas
sengers and employees. One pas
senger died later from injuries.
Evidence taken by the commission
In conjunction with the Public Serv-
ice Commission of Pennsylvania indi-
Gates that Engineman Gordon who was
found dead after the accident met
peaceful rather than a violent death.
That the hand of a dead man was at
the throttle of the Pennsylvania flyer
when it plowed into the rear end of
the Washington Express was indicated
by the commission. which said 1.-The
conclusion appears TO be well founded
mat ESng1neman Gordon was dead or
physically incapacitated before the
accident occurred"
The commission said that had En-
gfneman Mcconnell of the second en-
CINE of train 40 realized a few seconds
earlier that the train was not being
properly controlled by Gordon in the
leading engine, he could have brought
his train TO stop in time to avert the
accident. and had F'lagman MacDon-
aid of the Washington Express gone
back as far as possible in the time
available after his train came to a
stop and before he was recalled, his
fusees and torpedoes placed farther
back would have given Mcconnell
warning in time to stop his train be-
fore striking the Washington train, or
at least in time to mitigate the "dis-
astrous" consequences of the collision.
The Washington Express had
stopped because of a burst hose when
train 40, known as the Cincinnati
Limited, plowed into it, The pas
eengers killed were in the Watkins. a
club car, and the Entriken. Pullman
car, of the Washington Express.
