Rail special from Hannibal & St Joe collides near Kansas City

A Hannibal and St Joseph Railroad special, carrying railroad officials including D Harris and Charles H Lee, collided with a North Missouri stock train near Harlem three miles from Kansas City. Officials described the accident as not as serious as first feared and noted both trains were on regular schedules in a light, wildtime run. The incident occurred while the pleasure party’s train and the stock train were on the Kansas City branch of the line within nine miles of the North Missouri Junction.
