Lima Board Finds Negligence in 1912 Oregon Short Line Wreck
A Montana board of inquiry at Lima concluded Switchman H. S. Scott bore responsibility for failing to set brakes on coal cars, while Yard Master W. L. Thompson and Switchman L. C. Ford Jr were negligent for leaving the derail set without supervision during yard switching. The report notes efforts to stop No 4 after the crash, the yard’s derail arrangement, and prior discipline for care in following rules. Engineers William Purdie and Eugene Bare lost their lives in the incident east of Dell on October 27, 1912.
