Accident Report - July 21, 1887.

An accident occurred on the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic
Railway near Negaunee station on the 21st day of July 1887 at
450 o'clock P. M. caused bys

Way freight train east bound failing to stop (as required by
law) 200 feet short of the crossing of the Chicago & North West-
ern Railway, whereby they struck the cars of a C&NW train pass-
ing the crossing westbound, throwing 4 empty ore cars off the
track but doing very little damage, trains being almost at a
eatand. Engine stood on erossing 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, conductor
and 3 barkemen, have been dismissed from the Company's ser-
vice.
