south of the Rocks of Deer Creek station, on
the Baltimore and Leigh Railroad, slipped
its moorings on Sunday morning after the
southbound train had passed. and landed d.
rectly on the track. 1t was on a sharp curve
and the northbound train ran into 1t, but the
obstruction was discovered in time to apply
the brakes and an accident was averted. Fear
ing that the train might be thrown into Deer
Creek, the engineer jumped from the train
and was slightly injured. Section hands were
at once summoned from Cambria aud Forest

out the aid OF explosives, and a track was laid
around it, there just being margin enough for
this to be done safely. Travel was obstructed
for several hours.
