Kevin's Translation

I, along with one other classmate and one professor, am working on a couple papers about the history and policy of color blindness as a physical standard for the military.  Although the first paper is just about done, as part of it, I asked my amateur German scholar father-in-law, Kevin Melia, to translate an article for me, A Railway Accident a Hundred Years Ago as Reason for Systematic Testing of Colour Vision, Klin Monatsbl Augenheilkd. 1975 Jul;167(1):125-7.  Since this is the only English translation I know of, I've decided to post it online in case anyone else in the world would like it.  Note that as personal favor, it's not super polished, so you'll see Kevin's notes to me regarding his translation.  A Railway Accident a Hundred Years Ago as Reason for Systematic Testing of Colour Vision
