The damage tothe other car was so much less as to enable it to be readily re-paired by straightening the longitudinal sills and applyinga new end sill. To facilitate this work (as repair materialhad to be ordered from Pittsburg), the end sill was removedfrom the car. At the colliding ends, one coupler was broken in the shank,close to the head, and the other had the guard-arm brokenoff. The coupler was the Standard. with solid knuckle. Allof the cars were fitted with the Westinghouse friction draftgear, not one of which attachment, even on the colliding cars,was damaged in the least. The opposite from the colliding ends of the two cars men-tioned had slight kinks in the center sills, near the bodybolster
