Mr. W.P . Bruce, general manager of the NC&St.L railway, who personally directed the work of rescue and the clearing away of the wreck yesterday issued the following card at noon today for the help extended by
all agencies during the mammoth work of yesterday.

"On the occasion of the disastrous collision yesterday near Nashville between two passenger trains on
the Nashville Chattanooga and St. Louis railway I personally observed the efficient assistance in taking care
of the injured and dead rendered by many passengers on the trains as well as by men and women who were not passengers. I have been told of many circumstances which I did not observe with reference to such
assistance. Many women went to the seen of the accident with their automobiles and transferred
the injured to hospitals and some business concerns sent their trucks to assist in the handling
the injured.

On behalf of myself as well as that of the railroad administration I desire to express my appreciation
for these kind acts on the part of the citizens of Nashville.

W P Bruce
General Manager
