DERAILMENT -2-2-2-
this afternoon. By five o'clock the two offending
tanks were upright and no longer considered dangerous,
so the evacuated families were allowed to return to
their homes. Railroad officials said it would take
about 36 hours to complete clearing the tracks.
They said the cause of the accident probably was an
over-heated journal, which locked the wheels of one
car--resulting in the chain reaction of derailment.
