He fIagged the Train With latch


Martin Troy is an old railroad man
and was down at the East Bristol
bridge watching the men at work
When the 4:4S train from Bristol came
along the bridge was noticeably weak.
The train stopped before entirely
crossing the bridge, and the passen-
gers got out and walked across. At
that time the bridge sank about two
feet, the weight of the train so jarring
it that all the wooden piling under it
was carried away. Troy then went
under the bridge.
When he saw that the piling had
been carried away and the bridge had
sunk, he hurried up the bank to flag
the APO train from Hartford, which
would arrive at this point about 5 pm,
1t had grown quite dark by this time
and Troy had no lantern. But as
the train came along he took matches
from his pocket and lit them for
danger signal and stopped the train
just as the. engine was about to 60 on
the bridge. His self-possession and
presence of mind undoubtedly saved
the passenger train and the lives of
those on board. When the gang of
workmen came along they tried to in
duce Troy to go to work with them on
the bridge, but he refused to do 80,
claiming that the bridge was likely to
go at any minute. Troy was on the
east end of the bridge watching the
work as it was proceeding in spite of
his warming. He felt the first trem BILE
of the bridge and shouted: "Boys, look
out, sho's going!" But his warning
came too late. Before they could leave
the bridge the collapse came.-Hart-
ford Courant.
