What reading level is Annual Report of the Board of Railroad Commissioners 1887 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The apparent cause of the derailment was the accumu- lation of snow and ice by the side of the rails, so as to lift the flanges of the wheels of the forward truck above the rail. It appeared from the evidence that the gate tender kept the crossing clear to the best of his ability; but there was a heavy snow storm, and the frequent passing of street cars and other vehicles filled the groove between the rail and the planking with such a. solid packing of snow as to make it impossible for the gate... tender to keep it perfectly clear with- out assistance.
The Board is of opinion that at all grade crossings where there is a large amount of travel extra help should be furnished during severe snow storms to make the passage of trains safe. Such a pre- caution in this case would have prevented the loss of Life.
By the Board, WILLIAM A. CRAFTS, Clerk.
