Wildcat coaches derailment averted by Kellett switch
Butte witnesses recount a near disaster as two runaway Pullman coaches on the Northern Pacific line sped toward the North Coast limited. Carl Kellett, a baggage checker with the Butte Transfer, sprang into action throwing a switch lock open and using an iron bar to repurpose the track. His quick work, along with a Durant switch engine crew, prevented a collision and spared a sleeping porter. The two rescued Pullmans returned to Butte steady with minor damage as railway detectives investigated who left the switch open.
