OHLEN SAID 17 persons were in satisfactory condition and one person was in satisfactory condition. The crew members suffered injuries ranging from 'simple face fractures to major fractures.'
A spokesman for Amtrak, John Jacobsen,
said $3 million in equipment was damaged
in the accident.
The accident occurred at a curve in the tracks about one mile from the Lawrence traiment depot when three engines and 16 of them collapsed on Wednesday, 4th Ohiou streets. Tuesday near Fourth and Ohio streets.
Driver said the speed recorder tapes indicated the train had been traveling
--within speed limits before the accident occurred.
The accident was the second worst in Amrtak history in terms of the death toll. The worst accident was a 1971 deraliment in Illinois that killed 11 persons.
AN INVESTIGATION by the NTSB was authorized Tuesday morning by Dr.韦勒 led the investigation of the DC-10 airplane crash in Chicago in May. The team of 11 investigators arrived in Lawrence Tuesday after a session session after the accident site.

Driver said he also wanted to find out if the engineer was familiar with the route.
G. R. MARTIN, a union official in Kansas City, said it had been at least five years since the engineer had traveled the Lawrence route.
It could be four months before an official cause could be determined, he said.
noplastic officials told the NTSB the engineer, L.H. Graham, 63, would not be available to investigators for three or four days. Driver said.
two other crew members, R.B. Maupin, M.P. Wand, P.W. Hand, the fireman, he may be interviewed on the next two days, he said. Hold may have been in the engine at the time of the accident.
Yesterday, investigators walked about mile west of the accident site, examining the track.
Richard Bradley, a spokesman for Santa Fe, said, "All I can tell you is that the cause of the accident was excessive speed."
The train, a combination of the Southwest Limited, which originated in Los Angeles and the Lone Star, which originated in New York was scheduled to stop in Lawrence.
Driver said, "My experts tell me it would have been extremely difficult for the train to have stopped within that distance."
Yesterday afternoon, in the investigators pardoned around in the scattered along the track, crews were on the track and to remove the damaged cars.
Bradley said 16 of the cars had been rerailed and would be shipped to railroad shops in Topeka and Kansas City.
Freshman votes trickle in on first day of elections
"We found nothing in our walk to indicate the track was defective." Driver said.
After a low voter turnout in the first day of fresh elections yesterday, John Mitchelson, Student Senate elections commissioner, haoped more students would vote today.
University Daily Kansan
Generally, more students vote on the last day, he said.
Michelson said 430 ballots were turned in for freshmen class officers and 439 ballots were turned in for the six Student Senate seats for Nunenmaker Center.
"It was a really poor turnout today," he said.
The heaviest voting took place at the Kansas Union Lobby, Mitchelson said. Commared to last year's figures, he said.
452 ballots were turned in for Student Senate elections.
Compared to last year 329 votes was about average. About 329 votes were cast for freshmen class officers and
One problem that kept the number of votes down was that several students forgot to bring their KU identification cards, he said.
