George Baker and six family members died when his car stalled at an unmarked railroad crossing on Conrail main line near Martin. A train crew member noted the car stopped then crossed, while witnesses described sparks and bodies ejected as the 63 car Conrail freight train dragged the vehicle 200 feet. Survivors included Baker’s wife Gladys and children Debbie 20 and Terry 5, with several family members from Port Clinton staying with relatives nearby. Residents had long petitioned for lights at the crossing but costs prevented installation.
