placed directly across the track half mile east
of the Rockaway Junction. The forward trucks OF

the other slid along dagonally the inside fahgc of
the rail, occasionally striking tie in the road bed

stopped until IL reached point west of the Rockaway
junction, where delay of several minutes was oc-
casioned. The train had narrow escape,
