VEN TRESTLE LOST.
ICE ON BERKSHIRE DIVISION THIRTY
FEET HIGH on RAILS

Derby, Conn, March -Four hundred feet Of
the trestle Of the Berkshire division IF the New
York, New-Haven and Hartford Railroad was
swept away this morning by the breaking OF an
ice gorge in the upper Housatonic. The gorge
broke shortly after midnight and when the re-
leased ice reached this city it plunged over the
dam and was borne against the trestle, breaking
the great timbers like so many matches.
Three miles above Shelton the Berkshire diyi-
sion tracks are covered for distance Of three
hundred feet with masses OF ice thrown up by
the freshet In places the ice is thirty feet high
on the rails. Workmen have been trying TO
open this part Of the line to-day, and as soon as
the work is finished travel over the Berkshire
division will be possible by making a transfer
between Derby and Shelton. 1t is believed that
at least two weeks time will be required to re-
pair the trestle.
