COLLISION ON TEE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.—On
Monday evening, • very alarming accident occurred
on the southern section of the Caledonian Railway, but
happily it was not attended with any very serious results.
It appear. that a portion of a goods train which leaves
Carstaire for the south some time before the mail broke
loose while making the ascent known as " the summit,"
near Beattock, and began to descend the bill very rapidly.
The runaway part of the train convicted of the guard's
van and ten or • dozen waggons. On ascertaining what
happened, the guard applied the break, and succeeded
in bringing up the train a little to the north of Elvanfoot
Station. Knowing that the mail from the north was almost
due, he immediately ran back along the line showing a
danger signal; but ere be had gone many yards the train
came round a curve at full speed, and ere it could be
stopped it dashed into the goods train. The goods van
was smashed to pieces, and several of the waggons were
much damaged. The driver of the mail train, who leaped
off the engine on seeing the danger signal, was somewhat
bruised about the head and face. The stoker, who re-
mained at his post, was unhurt, the engine fortunately
keeping the "metals." The passengers were rather severely
shaken by the collision; but happily none of them sus-
tained any serious injury. Immediately after the col-
lision fire broke out among some combustible material
in the hindermost waggons of the goods train,
which for a time created a little alarm ; but by the exer-
tions of the officials and • number of the passengers it wee
confined to theons in which it originated, but they,
as well as the guard's van, ware almost totally destroyed.
Both !info of rails were partially blocked, bet a number of
workmen were brought from Abingdon, Beattock, and the
adjoining districts, and In the course of a couple of hours
the down line was so far clear as to allow the mail from
the south to pass over it. The mail train from the north,
which hail been run back to Abingdon, was then idiunted
on to the down line, which it was run over as far as Beat-
tack, and left for the south after • detention of about four
hours. The whole of the trains were a little late on
Tuesday forenoon ; but the up line was cleared during the
day, and the traffic resumed its ordinary course.
