Description

A Burlington-Rock Island caboose piled on top of a boxcar on the Cotton Belt tracks. Four trainmen in the caboose climbed down from the car, unhurt, although two loaded oil tank cars of the Fort Worth and Denver freight that backed into the stationary boxcar were overturned, spilling oil over the right-of-way.
