Engineer Testimony Clears Hyde Park Disaster Mystery
John H. Burnham, the injured engineer, testified before railroad commissioners about the Hyde Park collision. He said he left Mansfield two minutes late and saw white signals near Readville and Hyde Park before the crash. He could not determine exact distances, but tried to stop when the red light appeared after the other train’s tail lights. Other witnesses noted white signals at Hyde Park and a faulty signal at the American Tool Works station, with repairs following. The hearing then adjourned.
