Auto Wreck Costs
Railroad Huge Sum
At 0:37 a. in.. August llth, un automobile
traveling north of Route No.
137 at Sherwood, Ohio, ran into the
west end of the first cur behind the
locomotive of un euMtbound perishable
and merchandise train en route from
Chicago to New York, certain parts
of the automobile being torn off and !
Kitting under this car, resulting in
itb derailment and the derajlment of
thirty-two other loaded earn, or u total
of thirty-three earn, with damage
to earn and ludlcig of $44,320 and truck
and Interlocking of $4,650, or a total
dumuge of $4K,070.
Ah a result of thiu accident the
westbound truck wuh blocked for a
period of twenty-one houra and the
eustbound track for forty-live hours,
causing serious delay to traffic, which
was detoured via foreign lines at an
additional cost, which will rouke the
total cost or this derailment in excess
of $150,000.
Tills croslng is protected by a warning
sign and un electric ulurm crossing
bell. The Conductor of the wrecked
train advised that the driver of
the motor car told hinf that he did
not hear the bell or see the train until
too cloAe, as he had the radio in
his automobile turned on. The car
wus occupied by three persons and
the OTily personal injuries were slight
cuts and bruises to two people.
Tills accident occurred on a double
track railroad and bad there been a
passenger train passing or approaching
on the opposite track at the time
of this derailment, the result would
have been very serlotis.
1 As the tall of the hurricane went
out upon the Atlantic again, between
Charleston and Savannah, the damage
was slight, compared with the results
in tlie Florida keys. The wind
reached 55 miles an hour at Beaufort,
and was not over that vejocity anywhere.
About 125 boats were anchored
in safety thereabouts, and some
damage was done to light structures
In the town. At Georgetown, tiees
and wires were blown down, and at
Pawley's Island some cottages were
damaged by waves, but at Myrtle
Beach no damage occurred.
