Earlington (Ky.) -- Newspapers; Hopkins County (Ky.) -- Newspapers
The damage to freight and engines and rolling stock was enormous and
hard to estimate. Both trains were going at a good speed and were almost
together before either train crew had the least warning. Engineer McGrath
says he could only give a quick signal with his whistle and jump. He
wondered as he jumped which way the cars would pile up and whether he
would be able to get out of the way. He was bruised and wrenched so that
he has been quite sore since.
Train No. 57 through freight going south, with Conductor Harper and
Engineer McGrath, and the north bound local, No. 82, Conductor Ingram and
Engineer Porter, met by a confusion of orders. One set of orders gave
Mortons Gap as the meeting place and the other set said Earlington. No
official investigation has been made as yet.
E. N. Corbett, who was killed, was head brakeman on the south bound
train. He evidently did not realize any danger until the shock came, when
he was thrown as from a catapult high in air and over both engines. His
neck was broken. He was a young and popular railroad man and leaves a
wife and one child who live in Nashville.
The cars were piled forty feet high and much of the wreckage had to be
burned. Very quick work by the efficient wrecking crew and railroad
officials is recorded and there was only slight delay in the movement of
trains.
