Electrically Operated Logging Trains in Head-on Collision

When two Westinghouse 65-ton electric locomotives met head-on while pulling two logging trains on the railroad of The Red River Lumber Company near 'Westwood a pe_ culiar combination of ,circumstances prevented loss of life or injury to the crews.

The Red River railway is equipped with block signals and the train movements are controiled by a train disp-atch_ er at Westwood and an assistant dispatlher at the'West .,1d. In this case signals and orders i"ere .orr.ct and the qlsparcners and trarn crews u,ere ,cleared of blame for the accident. The meeting occurred at sunset and the west P_oYT9,9tsin.er was bll9.a by t!t9 sun which *", ai.."tty ln hls lrne of vision. This caused him to run past the stop board.

The east bound crew was pulling a heavy train of logs. They could see the other train as"it rushei i"i";r;- th;; and had time to bring their train to a full stop ";J j"-; to safety. The east bound locomotive, standing still and backed by the heavy loads of logs, took most of-the shbck and received the more serious damage. The west bound crew, which could not see the danger ahead, were saved by the fact that their locomotive plowed into the east bouni locomotive and was not badly damaged. The fact that the west bouud train was hauling a heavy tank car between the engine and the epptl logging cars saved the engine crew ]t9T !"t-"g smashed by the logging cars whi,ch telescoped behind the tank car. the accident is conlives were lost. The River shops and re-

While the property loss was heavy, sidered a miracle of good luck that no locomotives were rebuilt in the Red turned to service.

The photograph shows how the west bound locomotive receiv-ed no damage to the cab as it ,crushed through the cab of the east bound train and how the tank car acled as a buffer between the engine crew and the wrecked empties.
