Engine stood on the crossing when it stopped. Trainmen seem to have used poor judgement in not checking speed of train and getting it under control in time to stop short of crossing. All hands, engineman, fireman, counductor and 3 brakemen, have been dismissed from the company's service. Casualties None.
