WRECK INMONTANA
Fist Passenger Train Crashes
Into Standing Freight.
TWENTY PERSONS LOSE LIVES
Dead Nearly All In One Car Blinding
Snow Storm Prevented "En
gineer Seeing Ahead.
uuttc, Mont., Sept. . 20. In the
worst wreck in the history of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, 20 persons
were killed, in seriously injured, sev
eral fatally and about 30 more or less
injured in a collision between passcn
gcr train No. 16, known as the east
bound Burlington flyer, and a west
bound freight train, at 8:10 'o'clock
yesterday morning, at a siding known
as Youngs Point, about thirty miles
west of Billings. The fast traveling
passenger train crashed into the
freight just entering on the siding dur
ing a blinding .snow storm, the en
gineer of the passenger failing to see
the signal flag of. the brakeman of the
freight train in time to avert the
crash.
A heavy, wet snow which was fall
ing at the time prevented the wreck
lrom catching hre, and undoubtedly
held the death list down to the fitrures
given. Every effort is being made by
the division force's, aided by volun
teers from Livingston and Billings, to
clear the wreck, and so far they are
able to prevent further loss of life.
None of the passengers from the
sleeping cars was injured. The train
was made up of an engine, baggage
car, smoker, a day coach and two
Pullman sleepers.
The efforts to prevent fire were sue
cessful and that horror was saved the
wrecked passengers. On the arrival
of the relief train the injured were
transferred around the wreck and
taken to Billings.
The express car was raised over the
platform of the smoker, and swept
superstructure, seats and passengers
off. Not a passenger in this car es
caped death or injury. The other pas
sengers escaped with cuts and bruises.
The scenes around the smoker" were
beyond description, heads, bodies, legs
and arms being interwoven with
broken seats and equipment. In one
place five bodies were packed on top
of each other. In another seven had
to be pulled apart. It was almost im
possible to succor the injured without
trampling on the dead.
Railroad men, while refusing to be
quoted officially or allowing their
names to be used because of the reg
ulations of the road in connection
with publicity as to wrecks, intimate
that the freight train was stealing
time, that it had no orders to proceed
to Youngs Point and should have
waited at Park City, about six miles
from the scene of the wreck, for the
passenger train. This is supposed to
explain why the Burlington train was
traveling about 50 miles an hour past
the s.iding.
