THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1940 Waukegan Post Staff Photo A broken wheel flange was believed responsible for the derailment 6f 15 cars of a 90 car merchandise train, which occurred last Friday afterâ€" noon on the Chicago and North Western Railroad freight line, west of Highland Park. In this picture are a few of the cars which were piled in rows across the tracks as tho they had been parked. Freight Line Tied Up 24 Hours by Train Wreck Friday Traffic was resumed late Saturday morning on the freight line of the Chicago and North Western railâ€" road, west of Highland Park, which was tied up for nearly 24 hours by a derailment which piled up fifteen cars of a fast 90 car freight train, enroute to Chicago, shortly after noon Friday. Two wrecking crews were at work for over eighteen hours, clearing the wreckage thist blocked both north and south bound tracks and tore up considerable rail. The train was reported as going about 60 miles an hour when the derailment occurred. A broken wneei on the twentyâ€" first car was believed responsible for the derailment. The defective car plunged into a ditch between the tracks of the North Western and Skokie Valley of the North Shore line. Momentum caused the other 15 cars in the middle of the train to buckle forcing most of them crosswise across the two tracks. No one was injured, altho it was first reported that there might be some "rail riders" bumming a ride, who had been hurt. Will Krumbach, who operates the Krumbach woodworking company at 815 S. Ridge road, was at work in his shop, located near the wreck, when he heard a terrific noise like an explosion. Running outside he saw freight cars piled up, some lyâ€" ing on their sides, while others were up in the air. Children and teachâ€" ers of the Ridge school which is also in the vicinity of the wreck, were likewise attracted by the noise. Highland Park police, assisted by squads from the sheriff‘s office and the Highwood police, patroled the highway in an effort to keep Skokie highway from bel:? blocked by the hundreds of motorists who went to view the wreckage.
