No injuries resulted to the driver of the loaded truck, who was in his cab. The train's en gineer, Martin Tasanady, re ceived a slight cut on his cheek, according to Police Chief Oran Chastain. The engine was about 600 feet past the scene of the collision when it stopped. The force of the impact threw one of the logs on top of the diesel engine's cab where it balanced until it was removed. Several 36-inch logs were cut in two and Central . Point's "depot," a small 10 by 12-foot building.was demolished by the logs, Chas tain said. Hears Train Whistle In reconstructing the accident, the police chief stated, that the truck, driven by Arthur St. German, Central Point, was on the tracks when he heard the train whistle and slammed on his breaks. He was unable to get the truck in gear in time to move it off the tracks, and it was struck in the middle. There ap peared to be only minor damages to the cab, officials said, but the engine was . considerably dam aged from striking the logs. Engineer Tasanady stayed at his controls and kept blowing the whistle until the collision, Chastain reported. A crewman in the cab was able to go to'the rear part of the engine to avoid injury. C. E. Walker was the train conductor. Lewis and Clark were the first trail blazers to mark out a way from St. Louis to the present known mouth of the Columbia river.
