The Weekly Constitution, Atlanta, Ga. March 30, 1903
Huntsville, Ala., March 23. -- In a dense fog this morning two trains on the
Southern railroad - passenger No. 42 and freight No. 73 - collided head-on at
Elko, 5 miles west of Huntsville.

The trains were going slowly and only one man was hurt, William Bailey, fireman
of the passenger engine. Both engines were badly damaged. The freight had
orders to take the siding at Elko, and was slow in doing so. Signal lights
were not seen in the fog.
