Narrow escape at Midh. Cent. station prompts probe
On Wednesday a close call near Midh. Cent. station halted a day express and prevented a collision with a way freight on the Main track. The engineer’s quick brake action threw Conductor Conley into a door, breaking glass but causing no serious injuries. The incident raises questions about semaphore signals and crew diligence, with potential job repercussions for freight crews or the express engineer.
