NO. 71 .i Freight Trains Crash in Local Railroad Yard Four Cras of Cement, Sand and Gra vel Demolished and Wreckage Strewn Over Yard From Thursday's Dally The locomotive of ea9tbound freight train No. 88 over the Burl ington last night at 9:45 crashed into six cars of the local freight which was standing in the north por tion of the railroad yards a short distance from the end of the plat form of the passenger station and as the result six cars of cement, sand and gravel were piled up along the track and four of the cars practi cally demolished. r The, local freight was engaged in switching cars in the yards and the locomotive had been unhooked while Conductor Frank Beal and the train crew were engaged in looking after the switching work which has been a part of their duty since the re rooval of the switch engine from the local yards. In switching several cars had been left on the track to be made up later Into the train which was to have gone on to Pacific Junction. The train No. 88 had received orders before reaching this city to couple on into the local freight and assist In pushing the train over the grade to the railroad bridge and the locomotive of No. 88 was accord ingly coupled onto the way car of the local and the crew awaited the signal to start in the shove the other freight on ahead into the Junction. The engineer of No. 8S was out oil ing up his locomotive while awaiting the signal to go ahead and while he was so engaged the throttle of the locomotive leaked and caused lUe locomotive to start moving and this being thought to have been the re sult of a Blgnal to come ahead the locomotive and the cars were started down the east bound track with the pusher working to get a good start for the hill, the engineer not know ing1 that the local locomotive was still engaged in switching In the lower yards. The locomotive with the cars that they were pushing crashed Into the cars of the local train that had been left on the mainline track and as the result two wooden box cars were demolished and two steel cars load ed with cement were torn from their trucks and the wreckage and con tents of the cars scattered along the tracks for the distance of several yards. The section and extra gangs were called Into service and a wrecker and crane from Gibson arrived here and the force of workmen worked all night in clearing the track and were able to get the eastbound main line track cleared at 6 o'clock this morn ing altho the west bound track was still closed at noon as the result of the wreckage and the track that had been torn up by the cars as they were shoved off the track. The cement was piled very deep over both the east and west main line tracks and required the removal by shovels, a great deal of the ce ment being salvaged and sacked by the workmen.
