On January 11, 1965 there was a wreck at Sterling crossing (RU) killing five B&O and E-L crew members. B&O Extra 6940 East failed to stop and collided with E-L Extra 6601 West. Part of the ICC report: In view of the train speeds and the time element involved after the interlocking operator realized the B&O train had passed signal 45, it is possible the accident may have been minimized, or avoided, had the operator immediately caused signals L-2 and 24-23 to display Stop aspects for the E-L train. Testimony taken at the hearing indicated that a lighted red lantern and fusees were readily available to the operator when he ran from the interlocking station to give stop signals to the B&O train, and it is possible the accident may have been avoided or the seriousness of the accident reduced had the operator used the red lantern or fusee when he gave the B&O train stop signals. We find that: The Sterling interlocking operator had properly established the route for the E-L train to move over the crossing ahead of the B&O train. The E-L train was operated in accordance with the rules. The B&O train failed to stop short short of interlocking signal 45 as required and proceeded onto the crossing ahead of the E-L train without authority. The accident was caused by a failure of the engineer of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad train to stop this train in accordance with an interlocking signal indication. By Commission, Division 3.
