Retired railroader here. Correction in terminology. A cab signal penalty brake application, at least in territory I operated over, did not result in an "emergency" brake application, but a penalty application, which is an automatically initiated brake application at a service rate until either the train comes to a stop or the air in the line is exhausted. The engineer has to move the automatic brake handle to "suppression" until the air quits exhausting. It can only be reset after the train is stopped for a given amount of time, usually a minute, then the Power Control Switch either automatically resets, or on older units, the engineer can press a reset button on the control stand, and can then release the automatic brake and recharge the train line.

So, another piece of equipment survives from the wreck. The car was built in 1915 by Barney & Smith as a solarium-lounge car for the SP&S. It was purchased by the Burlington in 1934 as #220, Mississippi. Rebuilt in 1936 as a solarium-parlor car, renumbered to #340. Named Denver on the right side, Cheyenne on the left, for use on C&S trains #31-32. Converted to chair car #4811 during WWII, converted back to original configuration, renamed Mississippi and #220 in February 1946. Severely damaged in a collision of the Advance Flyer and Exposition Flyer at Napierville, Illinois. The car sat derelict at Aurora, IL for a number of years until it entered the Aurora car shops for conversion into an office car. It emerged from the shops in January 1953 as The Round Up looking much like a Budd built car. The car was sold to Canadian National in April 1972, resold to Bombardier Limited, resold to Ron Salisbury of Toronto Canada. Currently under private ownership at the Allentown & Auburn RR in Pennsylvania under the name "Northern Lights"

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

Good to know. Tracking down surviving rolling stock is such a pain in the neck hence why I only found 2. There could be more for all we know. Finding photos of them too was also difficult.

[@ardenkwong9153]

Excellent overview and summation - very comprehensive and complete! Keep up the great work please!! Some RRs adopted and installed ATS at great costs. Other RRs that did not adopt ATS were limited to 79mph as seen in their speed limit signs across their system of mainlines. Lastly, headways between trains were increased, use of radios became standard, flares and torpedoes were given a extra review on their use, and LW cars like Budd's CZ cars became prevalent by the mid-50s. These LW cars protected the occupants better since during a derailment, they had less of a battering ram effect compared to HW cars. Tightlock couplers saved lives also.

@ExpressRailfan did you watch the video? There wasn't any way to switch it off the track, they were following 2 minutes behind so itd wouldn't be long until they hit, and at his speed there was no way in hell he would of stopped in time especially if he was in service braking and not dumping the air (emergency) but even then they'd still hit em.

I live 14 miles out of Naperville. (I reside on the Mendota subdivision), the old folks of Naperville have always said that they can’t believe how such an accident in such a small city (at the time) could happen. You did a fantastic job documenting this. And they actually have a memorial dedicated to the derailment. And they also recently added a little spot dedicated to train-spotters. P.S: Consider making a documentary of a derailment that happened in Montgomery, IL. Approx. 2 miles out of Aurora. It happened in September 27, 1964 when a Kansas City Zephyr train collided head-on onto a Rock Island train. It’s another tragedy well-known around the Naperville-Aurora area.

I remember hearing about this accident. I was born in 1946, and lived in Western Springs, about a block away from the CB&Q racetrack. When I was very young, I noticed the flashing yellow aspects on the CB&Q block signals. When I brought the flashing yellow aspects to the attention of my uncle, he told me that the CB&Q introduced them because of this wreck. He told me that the Exposition Flyer was following the Advance Flyer on the yellows, that the Advance Flyer stopped immediately beyond a signal that could not be seen very far in advance, because of a curve immediately preceding the signal.

The car Mississippi is still around, it now resides at the Allentown and Auburn in kutztown Pennsylvania as the “Northern Lights” and was rebuilt with stainless steel cladding overtop of the steel car. Walking through the car you would never know it was involved in this pretty big derailment and that car itself had deaths inside.

[@nebraskazephyr2579]

Correct. The MISSISSIPPI was rebuilt at CB&Q's Aurora Shops into the open-platform office car THE ROUND UP. As you mentioned, it was completely sheathed in fluted stainless steel over its steel body, making it one of the heaviest (and smoothest riding) passenger cars on the rails, not far behind the heavily-armored Presidential rail car FERDINAND MAGELLAN. After the BN merger it was sold into private ownership, having several subsequent owners and homes (including Canada) before coming to Kutztown, PA.

The crash in Folkston Georgia you're referring to, from what I heard so far, had PTC turned off for signal maintenance and trains were operating on dispatcher permission by radio.

The accident happened just twelve days ago.

At 17:45 you mention engine number 9911A, named the Silver Pilot, as the sole surviving E5. The way it sounded was that 991A was involved in the crash.

[@vincent412l7]

The problem with three-signals (green-yellow-red) is that a following train one block behind will have a yellow signal (next signal red). If it matched the speed of the lead train, it will always have yellow signals, and the engineer might expect this to continue.. If the lead train stops, the following train will not know until it sees the red signal with possibly the train just past it.

That stainless steel body is such a vibe. Would love to see it in person one day. The reports never specified if they found anything or not so it's hard to say. I do think they should of took the train further though namely the station. I had an incident somewhat similar to what happened on the Advance Flyer that wasn't mentioned in the video from my experience where I worked on a tourist RR (Only difference was there was no train behind us) during a christmas excursion our coach lost power but instead of an immediate stop (right near a rock cut) I told my engineer "stop at the village" (A location we use sometimes for weddings and what not) which was just less than a mile further up the track. He agreed and we stopped there so we could jump down on a good spot to investigate (as I thought the generator had shut down) & to the passengers it looks like a station stop (despite the announcment of why we stopped) turns out the 240V plug to the generator somehow got yanked by something on the right of way and there was no more plug (nothing but wires). We had to run an extension cable from the next car ahead (Cafe) to get lighting back in the coach. Learned a lot that day as I was a student conductor at the time. We never found the plug nor what the hell hit it.

As for the subject in question, when it comes to mixing heavyweight equipment and lightweight equipment in the same consists. Mixing of both types of equipment would be a regular occurance right up to Amtrak. The CB&Q even mixed heavyweights with its gallery cars in commuter service into the late 60s. One can argue the lightweight passenger cars were built strictly to supplement the existing heavyweight equipment, and they did to a degree. There were many rebuilds on heavyweight equipment by the railroads, and even Pullman themselves capitalized on rebuilding heavyweights. The rebuilds included roller bearings, tightlock couplers, sealed windows, lowered ends to match the lightweight passenger cars, etc.

Fun fact: The speed limit of 79 miles per hour, if applied during the wreck, would have saved ZERO lives. The Exposition Flyer would have been slowed down by 1mph by the law.

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

I still never fully understood that. I would of questioned it during the video otherwise. Though I think that's because some railroads including CB&Q operated at max of 90-100mph too. Either way yeah 79mph didn't change anything. He just didn't acknowledge the approach properly. If I were an engineer I'd cut my speed the minute the signal was in view, not after passing it.
