A Locomotives Queer Load.

One can never predict exactly what
will be the result of a railroad collision.
Sometimes the wrecked cars are piled
up in an astonishing heap; sometimes
they are telescoped; sometimes they
are turned over and over, or twisted
crosswise or the track, or stood up on
end, as a baggageman loves to stand a
trunk. But perhaps the queerest of all
accidents of this kind occurred recently
at Towanda, Pa, where a locomotive
drawing a train at full speed a into
three box cars standing on the track.
One of these cars was lifted bodily, and
almost uninjured, on top of the loco
motive, smashing the smokestack and
part of the cab. There it remained firm
ly in place, and the locomotive carried it
to the town of Waverly, near by, where
n photograph was made, showing the
car on its lofty perch. Scientific
