In five tests, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy demonstrated that disastrous collision at Naperville, Ill, on Apr 25 between " Advance Flyer" and "Exposition Flyer," could have been averted if following train was operated in accordance with rules and signal indications; in making tests, Burlington used 4000-hp Electro-Motive Diesel-electric locomotive, three coaches, one dining car, two Pullman tourist cars and three standard Pullman cars.
