Probe Continues In Pennsy Wreck
Investigators from the Interstate Commerce Commission the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission and the Pennsylvania Railroad examined testimony that the Red Arrow train sped before derailing at Bennington Curve near Altoona. Five railroaders questioned after a 14 hour session stated the eastbound speed at 35 to 45 mph just before the derailment. The derailment killed 24 and injured 126 as crews removed mangled engines and cars from the Bulley below. The prewar Berlin gasoline price is noted as 59 cents a gallon.

Mount Suribachi dominates the landscape as rusting landing craft and war memorials remind residents of battles two years past.
