Fast Train
,RRams Stopped
1Troop Train


st passenger train roaring out
of a tunnel last night crashed
into another train halted on the
track killing IS homeward bound
American soldiers. Two Koreans
were killed and IS persons were
injured, including As American
troops. They were bound for
Seoul from Pusan.
Witnesses said the fast train
from Mokpo to Seoul, which had
no headlight, telescoped the
rear of the troop train, which
had no rear lights.
One passenger on the SOL
diers' train likened the wreck
and subsequent fire to a Dante's
inferno. Rescue workers worked
all night digging out the dead
and injured.
The IS American bodies were
brought here early today. The
injured were treated by Ameri-
can and Korean doctors and
many of them were able to con-
tinue their journey.
Charles McCafferty, of Chica-
60, passenger said the en-
gineers of the Mokpo train ap-
parently did not see the other
train until it was so yards away.
The engine plowed half way
into the rear coach from which
most of the passengers had
jumped when the other train
roared from the tunnel.
The rear coach was ripped
from its trucks and showed into
the coach ahead, where most of
the casualties occurred.
I'VE saw the train come out of
the tunnel about 1000 yards
away said McCafferty, a la
Dor relations adviser to the mil
itary government in the Ameri-
can Zone. eve yelled to the
passengers and all got off ex-
cept one man in the washroom
who was not hurt seriously"
Army officials said relatives
of the dead were being notified
but it may be necessary to bring
personnel records from outlying
detechments to complete identi-
fications.
Acetylene torches were used
to cut open the coaches to reach
some of the dead and injured.
About daybreak today, a hos
pital train arrived in Seoul with
20 bodies and 16 of the injured.
A medical disaster team and
salvage workers were at the
scene. Army physicians reported
that at least three soldiers re-
manned trapped in the twisted
wreckage when the first hospi-
tai train left for Seoul.
M. E. Perry of Flushing, N.
y, among 80 passengers in the
rear coach of the rammed train,
said he shouted a warning when
he saw the other train approach
ing. The coach was emptied
quickly. He said he ran along
side the train, waving a small
pocket flashlight in an effort to
warn the soldiers in the two
coaches ahead.
Seconds later and just before
the crash, he jumped from the
right-of-way into a rice paddy.
The crash, he said, sent the
rear car fright through the one
ahead-riding through at the
level of the seat tops"
1--WE got to hand it to an M.
P. who was giving a warning
from the other side of the train"
Perry said. "He jumped onto
one of the soldiers cars and got
caught in the vestibule when
the crash came"
The Pusan-Seoul train was
not on it's regular route because
of a washout, the Army re-
ported.
