Leaking Tank Car Threat Ties Up Elyria Fire Crews
Anxiety spread among Elyria firefighters and New York Central personnel as a gasoline tank car leaked in the eastern city section. About 75 to 100 gallons per hour escaped from a bottom hole while the car was moved to safer spots. The leak could not be stopped, and fuel flowed into a drainage ditch away from the city as a tanker from Cleveland was en route to transfer the gasoline.
