HAGENBECK-WALLACE While on its way from Michigan City, Ind.. to Hammond. Ind., the second section of a train on the Michigan Central railroad, carrying the equipment and employes of the Hagenbeck-Wallace circus, was forced by a hot box to pull into a sidetrack at Ivanhoe switch tower half way between Gary and Hammond at 4 o'clock in the morning of June 22, 1918. This section consisted in part of four remodeled Pullmans occupied by employes of the circus. It had not entirely left the main track when a CIRCUS TRAIN WRECK. westbound train of empty troop cars crashed into it. smashing the four Pullmans into bits and killing or injuring nearly all the sleeping passengers. Sixty-eight persons lost their lives and 127 were injured. After a careful investigation the bureau of safety in Washington placed the blame for he wreck on Al Sargent, engineer on the locomotive of the troop train, who was charged with being asleep at the throttle when the accident occurred. |
