The car sustained major damage. Photo by Lisa Rosenow] Kovar Suffers Rib Injury in Car-Train Mishap Emil Kovar, 82, Rossville, escaped serious injury Tuesday, August 6, when a Union Pacific train crashed into his car while he was trying to get it off the tracks. Kovar suffered rib injuries, said a county official, and was treated at Stormont-Vail Regional Medical Center and released. Kovar was driving south across the railroad tracks, which run parallel and about 300 feet north of US-24, about 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, said Deputy John Barber of the Shawnee County Sherrif's Department. When Kovar saw the train approaching from the west, he stopped the car and tried to put the vehicle in reverse, Barber said. Instead, he shifted into park, leaving about four feet of the front of the car across the tracks. The one-engine train, which routinely shuttles empty cars between Topeka and Junction City, was pulling eight empty cars that day.

Title A name given to the resource Robert Kerwin Accident, 1975, Rossville, Kansas Subject The topic of the resource Transportation accidents Description An account of the resource Early Morning Accident Near Rossville Results in Injuries Robert Kerwin, 18, St. Marys, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Kerwin, was admitted to St. Francis Hospital early Wednesday morning following a three-vehicle smashup near Rossville. His left arm had to be amputated shortly after he was admitted. Kerwin was also treated for lacerations to his right arm and forearm. Lynn Weill, 31, Edna, was also admitted.

The highway patrol said a Jeep-like vehicle driven by Kerwin and headed west veered left of the center line of the highway and sideswiped a truck loaded with hogs headed east and on the highway. The patron said Weill apparently lost control of the truck, crossed over the center line and sideswiped a westbound pickup driven by Gerry Dolezilek, 17, Rossville. Dolezilek was not injured. Authorities said most of the hogs in the truck were killed in the accident. Those that survived were rounded up later in the morning.

Title A name given to the resource Harold Irwin's 1910 Great Smith car, 1973, Rossville, Kansas Subject The topic of the resource Transportation Description An account of the resource Great Smith Comes Home At last, the day had arrived! The beautiful bright red and black 1910 Great Smith which Harold Irwin, Rossville, purchased in Dallas was transported to Rossville by a specially-built van constructed to handle antique cars. Mr. Irwin, the proud owner of this masterpiece, indicates it is the only one of its kind outside a museum. The auto, built in Topeka at the former Smith Bros. auto factory, is in excellent condition. Irwin bought it from H.A. "Barney" Hackney. A Topeka historian, John Ripley, indicated the car is just one of two Great Smiths in existence. The other Great Smith, a 1908 model touring car, is on display in the Kansas State Historical Society Museum in Topeka. Irwin owns three other antique cars: a 1937 Chrysler Airflow, a 1930 Dodge and a 1934 Airflow custom-built sedan; and belongs to three antique car clubs. Hackney's father, the late George W. Hackney, purchased the car new in 1910. He was an executive in a Topeka milling operation. In 1933, much of the body was destroyed in a hurricane. It has since been restored to its original specifications, a project which took ten years. Originally the car was a touring car but it was restored as a roadster. After the hurricane, the major parts of the car were stored. The finished product contains all the original mechanical parts, although Hackney had to fabricate some of the sheet metal himself and contract a company to build new front fenders. The engine, wood frame, rear fenders, transmission, radiator, carbide lamps and front axle and springs are all the original parts, according to Irwin. The original owner's manual and parts books is with the car. Irwin had read an advertisement about the car being for sale. His interest in the Great Smith began when he helped move the historical museum's auto out of storage in 1947. He plans to take his "new" car to antique auto shows and rallies. An interesting tread on the tires is formed by the words "non skid" being placed at an angle around the tire. The raised letters of the words form the tread. A battery starter was added in 1912 when the car was returned to the factory for modification. The dream of a lifetime has come true for Harold Irwin now that he has purchased the Great Smith. [Caption: Great Smith. Smiling proudly in the driver's seat is Harold Irwin, Rossville, owner of this 1910 Great Smith. Seen in the front seat with Mr. irwin is Rossville's mayor, Bill Smith.
