Carload Crossing Near Miss Highlights City Mishap
A Pleasant Valley trolley with three men and a young woman halted at a Fort Wayne crossing as a westbound freight train neared. The conductor and motorman argued over whether the trolley remained on the wire, sparks flew, and the car nearly touched the oncoming train. A watchman shouted warnings while the locomotive’s headlamp lit the rails, and the car barely escaped a deadly collision. The piece also recounts vivid ads about real estate and a bankerlike tale of advertising in The Dispatch.
