Sick Tot Dies As Train Blocks Way
COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA. Karen Schroeder, 7, leukemia victim, died in her mother's arms here Wednesday night after her parents had waited about 12 minutes for a freight train to pass a crossing, as they were rushing the child to a hospital.

The parents, Orren and Geraldine Schroeder of Aspinwall, said the child had been given 28 transfusions to combat the usually-fatal leukemia.

When she appeared to weaken late Wednesday, they started for Children's Memorial hospital, Omaha, Nebraska.

At a downtown crossing here, they found a North Western railroad freight train blocking their way. They said as they waited for the train to start, Karen stopped breathing. A doctor was summoned, but the child was dead when he arrived.
