I saw the reflection from the headlight, as the Central train came up from the rear, but thought It was on the adjoining track. Fearing It might strike me, I pulled mV head In through the window. In another Instant there was a crash and a terrific Jolt and t knew there had been a collision. I waa thrown out of my seat and . my arm caught between the seat and the car window ” Numerous harrowing stories are re lated by the injured to their experiences.
