Ash Grove, IN. June 3rd, 1947. 3 brand new 'Monon' F-3A diesel locomotives collided head - on with 3 other brand new F-3A's; also 'Monon' north of Lafayette, IN.

The SB train failed to read 3 different warning lights, & the only survivor said he as they rounded a curve they witnessed an increasingly glaring headlight!

Yup, ya better be reading those warning lights! Whether you're driving a tractor, vehicle, operating a train or flying, have a safe and enjoyable Easter holiday weekend.
