Train Wreck Blamed on Railroaders Says Formal Statement
A formal railroad statement says the crash was deliberate after track analysis showed outside rail spikes pulled, bolts removed from a splice, and the end of the rail moved 22 inches. The Manhattan Limited passed the scene 20 minutes earlier amid wreck plot suspicions as two seasoned railroad men allegedly acted. Passengers included five Seton Hill College students. W. W. Brown, 64, rescued them, one student later recalling the escape.
