Fernandina NelCs: Train No. came
near furnishing another chapter in the
story of railroad disasters we have read of
late. 1t was three hours late and it was
$50 p. m. that it was brought to a stand
still at the verge of Little Withlacoochee
trestle by red light. Two boys, going to
attead St Catharines church, four miles
this side of the treStle, found one of the
stringers broken, and obi aiming a lantern
awaited the train and waved it down, pre-
venting what would probably have been the
worst disaster in the history of Florida rail-
roads. The trestle stands Is feet above
the river and Is between 200 and 300 feet
long. The train was going at good speed
to make up lost time, and if it had gone
down would have been a complete wreck
and resulted in great loss of life.
