The Bangor Commercial has the following
chapter of accidents that occurred on the f.
4 n. A. Railway on Saturday. On starting
out of the depot at the foot Of Exchange ST.
in the morning, the connecting rod of the en-
CINE gave way, and the locomotive made
tearing work as far as the Red Bridge where
it became disabled and was stopped. This
little mishap was speedily overcome, and an
other locomotive was placed on the track.
At Lincoln two of the trucks of the mail
car gave out, causing another delay.
Near Kingman the Pullman car on the in
coming train ran of the track, where the
train was compelled to leave it. 4 wreck

fact that all these little accidents did not pre-
vent the trains from getting through on
time, is high commentator to the spirited
management of the road.
