Re: (erielack) Aurora and Garretsville, OHIO

Does anyone have more detail on the head-on?  How did the trick dispatcher loose track of the two trains?  This portion of track was signaled?  Also any details of who the dispatcher and CTD were?

  The bridge at Garrettsville was the site of the*September 15, 1966 head-on**  
**collision between the night Hump Crew (local) and an eastbound ore train*.   
That incident resulted in the scrapping of RS-3 #1011 at Brier Hill Shop,
the firing of a Train Dispatcher and the demotion of the Chief  Train
Dispatcher in Youngstown. The eastbound ore train was led by Alco FA2  #7381 which
I seem to recall was repaired and returned to service.
