==The wreck==
According to initial interviews with the train crew, engineer W. W. Blaine of the ''Exposition Flyer'' (who survived with a fractured skull) immediately applied brakes upon seeing the first of two warning signals, but it was still too close to the first train to stop in time, and was still traveling in excess of when it struck the rear of the ''Advance Flyer''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Naperville, IL Disastrous Train Wreck, Apr 1946 )〕
At impact the engine of the ''Exposition Flyer'' plowed through the last coach of the ''Advance Flyer'', collapsed a dining car, and derailed several more coaches. Five cars on the ''Exposition Flyer'' also derailed.〔
