I have that issue, but it would take all day to find it.  The coverage was in the front under news coverage.  It would be interesting to see the full report of that wreck.  The use of radios played a critical role because the bridgetender told the engineer he had it all lined up, so the engineer could expect a clear signal at the bridge. But then the bridgtender took the route away from the railroad and gave it to a boat.  He did not inform the engineer of that, however, he was not required to because the signal indication was the only proper authority.  The train was not going very fast, but the gigantic counterweight, when lowered, had its bottom just above the elevation of the locomotive frames.  So the entire momentum of the whole train shoved through the couplers, passing under the counterweight, and the counterweight cleanly sheared off everything above the locomotive frames.
