The Conductor on this derailment was Floyd "Buddy" Clark. He had 2 sons(KC and CC) working for the SP at the time. One of the sons was on a job at COI when this derailment occurred. When he got news of the incident, he ran to his car in order to drive out to the derailment site. When he was close to his car the ass't trainmaster asked where he thought he was going in such a hurry? KC said he was going to the derailment site and the ass't trainmaster said "no you're not". KC said "watch me"... and got in his car and took off. Someone finally calmed the ass't trainmaster down, and then told him why KC had gone to the derailment site. Nothing more was ever said.
