ALARMING OCCURRENCE 0. N THE
- NORTH LONDON RAILM 11'.

On Saturday an accident took place on the line
of the North London Railway, near Ca mC'en station,
by which an engine and train were thpa wn off the
line. It appears that the down train from Fen-
church-street left that station at its u.3ual time, five
o'clock, on Saturday evening, drawn. by No. 17
engine, driven by John Savage, an old. And experi-
enced driver. The train proceeded as usual until
after its arrival at the Caledonian-road station, on
the western side of which is situated. the cattle
sidings and layers for cattle brought up to the New
Cattle-market. At the time the train ha.d reached

this point a very fine heifer belonging to one of the
salesmen escaped and made its way down the line
towards the Camden station. The. darkness of the
night prevented the driver seeing any great dis-
tance, and on the arrival of the train within about
seventy or eighty yards of the bridge which crosses
the King's-road. at St. Paul's-terrace the engine
came into collision with the animal, dashing it
to the ground, and the engine and train passing -
over it, cut it in pieces. The result of the shock was
to throw the engine and tender off the line, and
although the steam had been shpt off it dashed
along some 40 or 50 yards, and, fortunately,
when within about 30 feet from the bridge
referred to, dashed down the embankment
some 16 or 17 feet, followed by two of the cariages,
and become most fortunately. deeply imbedded in;
the earth. The two carriages immediately following
the engine were much shattered, and the former
had one end completely thrown up into the air. It
is stated that there but two men passengers in this
first carriage, and they were much contused. In
the second carriage there were several women and
one with a child in her arms, who were much shaken
while the other passengers were more or less con-
tused and bruised. The down express, which
leaves Fenchurch-street at a quarter-past five,
was due within two minutes at the Camden-
town station. Pitt, the guard of the disabled
train, ran back with all speed to place fog signals
en the line, and the telegraph had only just time to
communicate what had happened to the Caledonian-
road station, when the express arrived and was
stopped. Information of the occurrence was at
once telegraphed to the Camden station of the Lon-
don and North-Western Company, and Mr. Henry
Chubb, the secretary, Mr. Adamson, locomotive
superintendent, and other officials of the North-
Western and North London Companies, with large
numbers of engineers and workmen, were speedily
on the spot. It was then found that the rails of
the down line were torn up for a considerable dis-
tance. The passengers having been got out the men
set to work to remove the embedded engine and
carriages. The carriages were got up on the line
during the night, but the engine and tender, all in
one, weighing some 25 tons, had become so deeply
embedded in the earth, and so low down the bank,
that it was not until about four o'clock yesterday
afternoon that, with the additional aid of two
powerful engines, it was got up on to a siding.
