AS the wreck of the train on this
branch last Thursday evening was
the first ever happening on this Sec
ton of the road it attracted great
deal of interest and for several days
or until the debris was all removed,
many people, for miles around, came
to view it and all were amazed that
the engineer and fireman escaped with
nothing more serious than a severe
shaking up and some few minor
bruises. Old No. 244 is now in the
scrap iron heap.
