Jury verdict links Borie wreck to brake defect
A coroner’s inquest at Borie station, Wyoming, finds Union Pacific train 223 collided with a work train due to braking power failure, causing ten deaths on November 10 1908. The jury notes lack of an operator at Borie and faulting braking systems as key factors. Park and UP officials defend equipment safety standards and push for public cooperation with investigations.
