avenue yard two OF the cars jumped the
switch, and there was decided mix up
of several hours duration. Freight and
other traffic was delayed until about
o'clock this morning, and 1t was necessary
to send to Valley Falls and the down
town yards for the wreckers and crews to
get the cars back in position and clear
the tracks for general freight moving.
