 A car going westward in charge of Motorman PAUL HEIMBACH, drifted past a switch when the brake apparatus was disabled, and, out of control, ran into a car in charge of Conductor ROBERT LACHMAN and Motorman CALVIN LEVAN, which was to have passed HEIMBACH'S car on the switch. It had stopped on Rahn's Hill to let off passengers and the runaway car crashed into it with terrific force.
