The freight train is said to have moved forward before the track switch was completed, the train then "cornered" the engine, and the caboose crushed into the left side of the cab, pinning Sigvard Hill and killing him instantly. The railroad company plans to have a complete investigation. View of steaming wreckage and overturned cars near East 11th St. and Milwaukee Way. (T. Times, 10/16/47, p. 1).
