From Times Staff and Wire Reports

The body of a second crew member was found in the wreckage of two Burlington Northern freight trains that crashed head-on late last week near the tiny north-central Montana farming town of Ledger. Searchers aided by dogs continued the search through huge piles of wreckage for another crewman still missing. Five other crew members were injured when the nine locomotives and 31 freight cars derailed in the collision Friday. Federal officials arrived to investigate the cause.
