Wreck on Lake Crystal delays Northwest line collision
A collision at Lake Crystal between the new North-Western train from St. Paul to Des Moines and the Sioux City passenger train caused heavy damage to the rear sleeper on the Des Moines train. Several passengers were injured, but no loss of life occurred. M. P. Haggard, traveling home from a hunting trip, witnessed the scene and described the switch as possibly open or broken. The wreck prompted medical care and a four hour delay before trains proceeded.
