Passengers on Great Western
Trains Have a Most Narrow
Escape From a Wreck
THE ENGINES COME TOGETHER
Little Circumstance Alone Prevents
What Could Not Have Been Other
Than a Disastrous Wreck Near
Green Mountain This Mornins-No.
and No. s Meet on Curve.

A little circumstance, which proved
nothing else than an act of Providence,
INTERVIEWED ait about 4:30 o'clock this
morning and was the means of prevent
ing what could not have been otherwise
but q disastrous wreck of passenger
trains on the Great Western, a few mil
es northeast of Green Mountain. Pass
engers Nos. / and 6, the first due In
this city at 4:45, from the north. and
No. 6 due at 400 from the south, came
together on a curve about four miles
northeast of Green Mountain. with suf-
ficlient force to damage No. rs pilot.
The preventing circumstance was due
to the fact that both were running
slowly, on account of orders owing to
soft track and weak bridges.
No. s was fitting along for Gladbrook,
where she had orders to meet NO. !.
Number 1, in the meantime. was going
to Green Mountain, where her orders
read she should meet No. s.. The error
so the trainmen said, was either with
the dispatcher or operators, as both OF
the engineers orders were seen by pas
sengers after the trains had come to-
gether. Number /, feeling its way along
was able to stop within a very short
distance as was also No 6, which was
running under the same slow orders
covering that portion of the line. Their
meeting point was on curve and
neither headlight was visible to the
other engineer until they were quite
close together. Had the trains met at
any other point running at full speed.
as they would have been. bad smash
up could not have been avoided. This
would have occurred mile in either di-
rection. from the spot. The force OF
the collision awak ened those who Were
asleep. and the passengers came pour
ing out of the cars to see what was
wrong. Number / backed into Glad
brook where No. 6 passed it, and both
trains proceeded on their way. Neither
of the engines was at all seriously dam
aged, and both were able to go ahead
without ASST stance. Passengers who
canae to the city this morning on No. l
were congratulating themselves on
their wonderful good fortune in so mar
rowly escaping injury or death.
