The Driver Was Outside. While 17-year-old Frederick L. Seyfried watched helplessly, a New York Central Railroad passenger train ploughed into his car stranded on the railroad tracks at the W. Delhi Rd. crossing this morning. The completely demolished automobile is shown above. The automobile had been caught on the tracks for 20 minutes, while Seyfried made futile attempts to move it.
