CNJ & LY Head-on Crash |
| Description: |
Another online source contradicts the first explanation of this crash. It states from a worker at the scene - -"Reportedly not a dispatcher error. Word at the scene (frcm RDG wreck crew & engineering staff that I that I later worked with) was CNJ crew fell asleep and ran the red signal on their single iron out onto the LV at CP-Laurel Run. RDI staff assisted at scene due to mutual agreement with CNJ. CNJ crew was extremely fortunate to have survived as lead LV C628 climbed onto the CNJ RS frame. First cut of cars io LV were loaded ingot cars. CNJ train was reportedly shoved rearward several hundred feet upon impact. (dtiley)" Note also the comment below posted by Roger Cox as to the Lehifh & Hudson River C420's. C. L. Andrews photo |

Here lies one of the new Lehigh & Hudson River Alcos being delivered from the factory in the LV train. Thanks to Chuck Zeiler (see comment below), there is additional information about this accident from the book "Alco, A Centennial Remembrance" by Richard T. Steinbrenner. Thanks, Chuck! |
