The express train was due in Easton at 6:41 p.m. but was late.
Mr. Sandt evidently not knowing that the Black Diamond was so far behind time, was standing on the east bound track flagging his train out the Island park yard, when he was struck by the engine from behind and hurled over on a side track. He was picked up in an unconscious condition by the members of his crew and was placed on the engine of his train where he died.
Death was caused by internal injuries. All the ribs on the left side were broken and he received a number of cuts and bruises about the head. Undertaker Schlert later removed the body to the home of the deceased.
