under the train. Workmen
used torches / hour and As min
utes to free them.
Two other men were trapped
between two cars. Again, it
was q job for torches to free
them, and when it was done,
they were found dead.
Rails Sprung Loose
The rescuers worked far into
the night, fearing more bodies
might be brought out. Some of
the rails were twisted and
sprung loose from the ties.
Wrecking crews labored to free
the main line, two tracks Of
which had been closed by the
debris.
The right Of way was strewn
with playing cards and care
fully marked racing forms that
had occupied inveterate track
fans.
Contrasting with the tragedy,
was the storied stubbornness OF
horse players who had to get
down their bets regardless.
A woman in Prince Georges
Hospital emergency room
begged to be released long
enough to reach her bookmaker
by telephone.
One dazed man arrived at
the track, said he couldn't
breathe and that he would
go to the dispensary as soon
as he could get down something
