Trains Collide In Colorado Canyon. Two Killed in Runaway Crash
In Salida Colorado on August 21 two firemen were killed and 90 passengers injured in a head on collision of two panoramic Rio Grande passenger trains No 7 and No 8 in Granite Canyon. Officials attributed the wreck to an operator failing to deliver orders for the meeting at Granite with new instructions passed to Pine Creek not delivered to the No 8 conductor. Both engineers escaped by leaping from cabs as steel coaches likely limited further loss of life. Relief trains with doctors and nurses responded to the scene.
