The spirit of St. Louis West bound. The ear was driven onto the crossing by Elmer Hammond from the South and he says he was crowded so far toward the East of the Concrete surface of the space Between the tracks of the Railroad that the right rear wheel dropped off the Edge of the hard surface of the crossing so that the Spring under the machines Frame caught on the Concrete and lot the wheel spin not having any traction on the ground. The Driver was accompanied by James Newgent a youth and they with others helping sought to get tin car out of its dangerous position but they could not move it.
