Twelve explosions rocked the Bur-
lington railroads crack streamliner,
Denver Zephyr, early today, break
ing windows and causing other
damage to 10 of its ~ cars. Edward
Flynn, executive vice president of
the railroad, announced.
None cf the trains 1877 passen-
gers was hurt. The train left
Nodaway, Ia, where the accident
occurred, for Omaha, Neb., after a
four hour delay.
The federal bureau of investiga-
ton at Des MoineS was conducting
an investigation to determine if q
set of electric wires found along
the track where the detonationS
occurred might shcw that the ex-
ploSions resulted from a violation
of the federal train wrecking
statutes.
In his partial account of the ac-
cident, Flynn said the blasts oc-
CURED along SIG feet of track while
the train was travelling an esti-
mated so to 85 miles an hour.
Flynn said the blasts occurred
along a fast track" down hill
grade) that is part of the rail-
reads trunk line which is traversed
every half hour by a freight or
passenger train. The electric wires
Flynn said, had been routed under
the east-bound tracks and under
the south rail of the west bound
tracks on which the streamliner was
travelling.
The wires, hooked in series along
the SIG feet of track where the
explosions occurred, led about IS
feet into a nearby field where the
Zephyr'S crewmen discovered a bat
terry whose switch had been closed,
sending charge through the
wires.
When the blasts went off, Flynn
said, the trains air brakes were
damaged, causing them to lock. The
train slid one mile to a stop flat
tening wheels on several of the
cars.
The power unit of the Zephyr,
comprising two cars, escaped the
explosions, but all but two of the
remaining IL cars were damaged on
the underside.
Flynn recounted damage to each
of 10 cars, including water tanks
burst, floors bMged and tiling
loosened, dozen windows broken,
and matches, belly plates, skirting
and other parts blown from the
underside of the cars.
