Joe Oman was railroad tower man near the small station in Arcadia, California.
Joe's job was boring. All he did was pull levers to signal the trains, and there were only a few trains a day.
Then one day in October, 1911 Joe's job became very exciting indeed. A freight train lost its brakes and headed down the hill. At the same time, the Santa Fe passenger train was headed for the same track. If they crashed, all the passengers would be killed.
