Scrap of Paper Is Clue In Fatal Railroad Accident
A scrap of paper from the shattered cab of a diesel locomotive is a potential clue in the troop train wreck that killed 33 members of Pennsylvania's 28th Division. A tape speed recorder on the locomotive records train speed, aiding the investigation led by the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Interstate Commerce Commission. Observers include Ohio Public Utility Commission and Army representatives. The hearing seeks answers on brakes, safety signals, red flares, and crew actions. Lt. Col. Frank Townsend, commander of the troop train, described seeing the Spirit a mile away and expecting it to stop. The Spirit’s engineer, identified as the diesel locomotive driver Eller, was under medical care and has refused comment.
