Special Committee Finds Schiey Improperly Manipulated Air Brakes
The Union Pacific special board at Cheyenne found that Extra 222 East left Buford with ninety pounds air, dropped to forty due to improper air manipulation by Engineer J. C. Schley, and that the wreck near Borie on November 10, 1908, killing ten, might have been prevented if the crew had promptly used hand brakes. The report cites testimony from engineers, firemen, conductors, and inspectors and names board members including Charles C. Hughes and others.
