According to the NY Times of Oct 24, 1952, an empty train on the middle track collided full force with a another empty train that was stopped on the middle track. The motorman of the first train was killed, as he absorbed all of the initial impact. He was the cause of the accident because he was proceeding at full speed despite signals against him. He had passed yellow and red signals.Article also said that the middle track did not have tripper arms at the signals since it was never used for revenue train moves. |
