Accidents at Grade Crossing Stir Dorchester Residents
Two men were struck by a moving train at the same grade crossing in Dorchester. Cushing was hit as he crossed toward the station, thrown twenty feet. Sargeant suffered a similar fate around ten o’clock while crossing to tend work at the crossing. Both were treated by Dr. Carlton R. Thomas and later taken home. Citizens urge gates at this and other crossings. Matthew Cummings of the Neponset Improvement Association calls the conditions dangerous and outrageous.
