Harry,
     After reading the account of the accident and the conclusion that 
the switch was tampered with, I fail to see how this has anything to do 
with signal indications.

"OK, Ben, this is a test.   On April 21, 1932, No. 4 Engine 133 passed
signal 5868 (this was in double track, ABS territory), entered the Union
(Ohio) middle track and turned over at an estimated speed of 50 MPH.
There were 2 deaths and four injuries.  When Supervisor of Signals
Burnett arrived, he stated that  signal 5868 at the west end of the middle
track displayed STOP.  So this was a failure of the engine crew to
comply with signal indication, right ?

   Go to http://specialcollection.dotlibrary.dot.gov. then select the ICC
Railroad Accident Reports and look at the 1932 investigations.  It's
kinda interestingand there was a similar incident on the SP in 1939.
