CAUSE OF RAIL DISASTER.
DUE TO EXCESSIVE SPEED.
REPORT ON CARLISLE
ACCIDENT.
The report of Lieut.-Colonel Mount to the Ministry of Transport on the train derailment at Carlislo an January 3, when three persons were killed, states that the accident took place by derailment when the train was travelling at a speed not less than 45 miles an hour-at least three times the restriction imposed. Primary responsibility rests upon the driver, the report declares, in that he failed in his duty to operate hi train at safe speed over the curve:
"I look on
his failure," states Colonel Mount, "as the outcome of lack of judgment in respect of speed when appranching and traversing sharp curvature, coupled with over- confidence in the absence of true knowledge of the road and possibly some anxiety to recover time pro- vlounly lost.
