To reach home he was compelled to cross the railroad track. Train No. 10, William Savage, engineer and George Brown conducter, left Lakwewood at 10:45, for Barnegat, being due at this town at 11:20. When within a short distance of the Ridgeway crossing, the engineer saw Jameson on the track with his team. The air brakes were at once put on, the engine reversed and the throttle pulled wide open, but too late to avert the catastrophe, although the train was stopped within two hundred feet of the spot where it was when Jameson was first seen.
