All of the dead and injured pas-

wooden combination baggage and
passenger coach which was deznol-

According to railway officinls at
the scene of the wreck, the disaettr
was caused by the failure of the
engineer of the Michigan Central 3

cross-over where the Michigan
Central and New York Cegtrl

The block signal automatically
set a derailment switch. When the -
