The wreck was due to either a
misunderstanding of orders by Uh'

! was to pass at that point and which

about forty miles an hour the crew
saw a light engine standing on the

jtion of No. 1 the crew did not stop
land went through the station as
j fast as the two engines could draw
I the thirteen heavily laden coaches
I As soon as he train got out of the
'station the engineer of the first en-
'gine of No. 8 saw another train eom-

j slammed on the air brakes and the
ι emergency air brakes and then
j shouted to the other members of the
[crew to jump. But before they
ι had time to jump No 8 had ram·
j tiled No. 1 so hard that all of the
engines lay in the ditch.
