Accidents and mishaps seem to be the |
due order OF events on the G.. v. Ry. 1t is |
stated by good authority that a few
months ago the G. " Ry. employed seven |
new engineers and that six OF them had |
been concerned in serious accidents since |
their employment. The seventh engineer |
brought a train up from White River |
Junction Saturday evening and had orders |
to set off on the side track at the lower |
end of the yard. When the yard was |
reached the brakeman sent ahead to open |
the switch was new man and opened the |
wrong switch and the train pulled in on |
the short blind siding by the lumber sheds, |
with the result of soon being off the track. |
After some delay the train was pulled |
back on the track with the help OF an en-
CINE sent up from South Royalton.
