NP219Collision at Renton
The Auburn to Everett and Everett to Auburn Time Freight normally arrived in Everett before 8:00 am. The crew would layover all day and bring the Time Freight back to Auburn in the evening. Because of the July 4th holiday the crew was allowed to double back without the usual layover at Everett.
