Scope and content
On February 27, 1947 at 10:05a.m., a southbound Northern Pacific train plowed into a Medosweet milk delivery truck on a private road crossing three and one half miles south of the Tacoma city limits. The crumpled truck lies a distance from the tracks and delivery cartons are scattered about the area. The truck was carried over 150 feet down the tracks. One Medosweet employee, supervisor Alex McBeath Jr., was killed and another seriously injured. (T Times 2/28/1947, pg. 3 - picture, 2/27/1947, pg. 1- story)
