THREE FAST TRAINS
DESTROYED ON N.Y. CENTRAL
CLEVELAND, March 29.—Three
of the New York Central's fastest
trains were demolished at Amherst
today and as a result twenty-one
are dead and twenty-five it !s be
lieved fatally, and at all events seri
ously, injured, while ten more are
slightly injured.
The wreck was caused by quite
an unusual break down of the block
signal. The East bound fast pas
senger was travelling in two sec
tions. The first section stopped for
water at Amherst and as it did so,
the second section crashed into the
■rat section. The damage done was
wot very great, the hind end of the
firs section being badly
smashed up while the en
gine and baggage cars of the second
section also suffored However
the wreck scattered fragments of the
trains on to the second track just
when the west bound train was due
to pass. This derailed and side
swiped the wast bound train which
was almost wholly demolished as it
was travelling at a rapid speed. It
was in the west bound that the
greatest loss of life occurred.
The immediate cause of the acci
dent was the failure of the block
signals to answer the effort of the
operator and when the first section
stopped the line was signalled open
to the second section. In the
wreck the oncoming west bound
train was overlooked with the above
disastrous results.
