urday, pulling the freight train which
Icllidmi with the west—bound passen-
gcr train at South Norwalk.
“At the time of the accident l had
left my engine to procure a line scrap
or. i was standing on the bridge and
the train had passed on across to track
three. I was waiting for it to return.
i saw the roar brukcman. Dowd. give
the back-up signal. I could not see
from whom I was how the switch
signal was set. i did not see the west
bound passenger train until it was
close upon me. It is the business of
the rear brakeman to give the signals
in backing and- as soon as the engi-
neer received it the train was backed
into the passenger train. I have. been
firing for two years and a half. I did
not hear Dowd say anything after the
accident. and l have. not seen him
since. We had a conductor. three
brakemen. and a flugman on the train.
The flagman‘ remains at the rear of a
train; his duty being to so back and
flag in case of a stop. The flagman
was with the cars we had left below on
track three.
”We had left four or five cars with
the caboose. below on track three and
then we took some cars down to the
Danbury yard. We were going back
to get our tail end cars when the col-
lision occurred. The flagman was
’ down there. Dowd started with the
train from New Haven. being in the
Ii
brakeman when it was cut in two. The
rear brakeman all the- entire train was
in the yard fixingnp the. switches
where, we had left the cars."
In his testimony Brakeman Dowd
said:
“I live at 328 West Po'rtlca street,
New Haven. I am a railroad brake-
man employed by the New York. New
puny. Saturday. May 2. I was running
on Conductor McCormack's train. ex-
tra freight 262, I was on the. train at
afternoon. We had dropped part of the
train up in the yard on the Dsnhury
side. and had gone down across the
tracks of the main line with the rest
of the train. We dropped five cars
track. At that time 'i was rear brake-
man. The last car was a flat car and
i was on top of the next car to the last.
We were standing still.‘ I did not give
any signal to the head brakeman or
the engineer to back. I Im sure about
that. I did not lee any switch signal
there. and I did not look for it. I gave
no signals of any kind. I did not see
the passenger train coming because It
» was around a curve. Just before we
got back to track No. l. I did not
notice what the conditiodot the switch
was. I have been railroading a month.-
