Police Chief Robert Carlson spent most of the day Wednesday reviewing thirteen minutes of audio tape, trying to determine if his dispatcher acted appropriately Monday night.  Moments before a CSX train smashed into a Newton Township cruiser at the Miller and Graber crossing.

Officer Tom Colosimo was on patrol when he saw people near the tracks around 10:45pm.  He stopped to question them and then contacted  the dispatch.

It's not clear if the CSX was notified.  But at 11:02pm the officer once again called dispatch.  This time he said his cruiser was parked on the train tracks.  The dispatcher told the officer CSX was not notified.  A minute later the train hit the cruiser.

Carlson says he is concerned the train company was not notified sooner but says he is not sure if a phone call ten minutes earlier would have helped.

The Ohio State Highway patrol is investigating the crash.  Newton Township officials say the officer is not facing any administrative action.

The chief says his investigation should be complete in about two days.
