The destruction of many cars on both trains followed the crash. The engine on the rt-ar train plunged through two of the rear cars on the lo cal. and four cars of the extra freight were piled one on top of another Al together there were 10 cars derailed and most of them were demolished. Immediately after the collision, the broken cars in the rear end of the local that were piled up. were ignited from the fire in the furnace of the wrecked engine of the extra. The flames commu nicated with four front cars on the fast freight and for a time all the cars on both trains were in danger of destruc tion. The hundreds of persons who were attracted to the scene were too panic.stricken for a time to act. W hen the excitement had subsided the remaining cars were detached from those which were on fire and shifted to a switch. Tlio Firemen.
