Montana Railroads Penalized for Fast Running in Annual Report
The Montana State Railroad Commission report covering Oct 1 1910 to Sept 30 1911 blames excessive speed for many wrecks. It lists 71 killed and 528 injured among railroads including Northern Pacific and Great Northern with detailed breakdowns of employes and passengers. The commission notes rail management resists fast running despite public demand for quick delivery and outlines construction changes and mileage additions in Montana. It ends with a classified sale notice for hay and stock shelter at Reed Point.
