WRECK HOODOO HANGS
OVER BOSTON & ALBANY

There must be some hoodoo at work
on the Boston & Albany division of the
New York Central & Hudson River
Railroad in regard to the freight and
passenger trains as there has been
more accidents to the trains of that
road than all the other roads during
the past month and it looks as if there
was to be no let up or change in
luck.
For a few days last week it looked
as If the road was to be without any
accidents and the passenger trains
would get through on time but that
was only a small ray of hope that
quickly vanished.
Two accidents in the last few days
are not very encouraging and all the
western trains that are due here in the
morning late show that the road is still
under the spell of the hoodoO The
worst of the two accidents happened
at Roahdale late Tuesday night and
required the services Of the Wrecker
from this city and which made the
men work till early yesterday morning
before they could get the track clear.
The accident happened in a very pc
culiar manner and is something that is
not liable to happen again in long
time
Engine 2545 and engine ia were pull
ing an extra heavy freight up the
grade near ROchdale when the air
brake on the hind engine broke and
caused it to crash into the tender Of
engine 2545 which was in front and
putting the tender of the forward en-
CINE out of business.
It was three hours before the wreck
age could be cleared away to allow
traffic on the road.
A hot box on the mail train due here
at 5.42 delayed that train over three
hours and all other trains that were
following it,
