Interior of PCC interurban 1645 after a wreck with 1267. 1645 was returning to the barn on the single-track 38A, when she met outbound 1267 as a cornfield meet. It was proven the Nachod signals failed. The operator of 1645 was so alarmed he said it appeared as though 1267 was coming sideways at him. Fortunately, injuries were not serious. B3 trucks from 1645 went to 1614 which had sported the experimental B3 trucks, removed in the early 1950s and replaced with B2s.
