Rail Signals Asked by ICC WASHINGTON (U.R) The In terstate Commerce Commission recommended Wednesday that the Union Pacific Railroad equip more locomotives with cab signals to avoid accidents like the Wyuta, Wyo., crash last November. Seventeen persons were killed and 159 injured on. Nov. 12 when the streamlined passenger train, City of San Francisco, ran into the City of Los Angeles during a snowstorm. The commission said In its ac cident report that the roadway signals were covered by snow and ice and could not be read by train personnel. Under these conditions a train Is supposed to stop and then proceed very slowly. But the City of San Francisco, the report said, crashed into the other train at 77 miles an hour. Union Pacific has a signal sys tem on a large part of its route through Utah and Wyoming which registers the roadway signals in side the cab. The commission said if this system had been in use along the track at Wyuta, the ac cident probably would have been averted. "Weather conditions similar to those which prevailed on the day of the accident are not unusual along the line of this carrier in this vicinity," the report said.
