Snow, Grease Fail;
Pitt Comes Through
Picture on page five
A plot to slow two trains bearing University of Pitts
burgh football fans to the University Saturday failed, but the
trains arrived late anyway—due to the weather.
However, it was the stead
greased tracks that delayed tl
hour,
The two trains, carrying hun
dreds of Pitt fans, pulled into the
State College terminal at 1:15 p.m.
—l5 minutes before the start of
the traditional rivalry at Beaver
Field.
They were the first passenger
trains to roll into the terminal
since President Dwight D. Eisen
hower arrived by train in May,
1953.
A section of the Bellefonte
Central track on the horseshoe
curve near the Waddle grade was
greased by pranksters, believed
to be University students, some
time before the trains were sched
uled to begin the trip.
When the grease was discovered
on the rails in the morning, the
track crews sanded them down.
The first of the trains, powered
by three Diesel engines, slipped a
little when it crossed the stretch
but maneuvered the grade. The
second train had no trouble.
The snow, which had been fall
ing nearly all night and morning,
delayed the trains about half an
hour.
Railroad patrols were sent out
to check on the possibility of bar
ricades placed along the tracks.
It was also believed a section of
the Pennsylvania Railroad track
near Lemont had been greased;
however, the trains never ran on
this track.
Police reported that, with help
from the snow, the Pitt fans on
the trains were "orderly and
didn't give a bit of trouble."
Police Chief John R. Juba said
there was no unusual noise or
celebrating. "I understand from
the policemen stationed on the
train that the fans were well
behaved," he said.
The trains left State College
after the game, which Pittsburgh
won, 20-0, at 5 p.m. Saturday. The
victor's football team made the
return trip in a special car at
tached to the end of the second
train.
