Accident when big Mallet lilts train carefully looked Into in accordance with rules and reg ulations of the O. R. ft N., the wreck t Gibbon a few days since, when the big mallet engine ran Into a freight, has been carefully looked Into by the officials and other uninterested par ties comprising an investigation board, and the outcome of their find ings is as follows: Report of the board of Inquiry of the rear end collision between extra 361 East and extra 450 East at Gib bon, February 1st, 1910. Extra 450 East, Condr. King. Eng. Gettings, consisting of 34 cars, 1690 tons, ran into rear end of extra 361 East, Condr. Stacey. Eng. Saunders, consisting of 24 cars, 1053 tons, on main line at Gibbon at 11:15 p. m., Feb. 1st, damaging equipment 4o the extent of 41275. No one Injured. From the testimony we find that extra 361 East, Condr, Stacey and Eng. Saunders, and extra 450 East, Condr: King and Eng.-Cettlngs, left Pendleton at 9:10 p. m. and 9:33 p. m. respectively. Extra 361 arrived at Gibbon at 10:55 p.. m., twk water and coal, placed helper engine on rear of the train ready to pick up cars to fill train out to full ton nage, when they were struck In rear at 11:15 by extra 450. The rear end of extra 361 was standing on main line between switches about half way. between wets switch and de pot ' , We find that Engineer Gettings of extra 450, by his own testimony, saw no block signals at any point between Pendleton and Gibbon and was not aware of the locality through which he was passing, except when passing the "one mile to station board" west of Cayuse. It is claimed steam was escaping from the engine so that he did not know his bearings,' and when extra 450 struck extra 361, en gine 450 was working steam and running at a speed of about 12 miles per hour. Engineer Gettings, knowing the ex treme weather condition which was about zero, and that more or less steam was escaping from his engine also knowing that extra 361 was only 23 minutes ahead of him out of Pen dleton, used extremely ' poor Judg ment, in not trying to locate himself, and also violated rule 504 by passing block signals.
