But the mishap apparently took place at 4:15, the last prior time that a PennCentral train passed through East Liverpoool, according to railroad officials. Officers checked with railroad authorities, but they had no report from a train crew about a collision between a train and a rig. The train did not stop.

The train apparently was westbound, as parts of the tractor were scattered for 100 feet west of the crossing on the railroad right-of-way, police said.

Police called a wrecker to tow the damaged rig to a garage near Substation. 1 Prisoner Dead In Jail Takeover JOLIET, 111.
