CUMBERLAND, Nd, March 16.-Freight
trains that were held as long as two days by
washouts and landslides are beginning 10 ar
rive in the Cumberland yards OF the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. The trainmen all say the
food is the worst in many years.
The difficulties encountered by an extra
easubound train, of which G. Allguire. en-
gineer and VI. j. Clark, fireman, aud ". NJ.
Kelly, engineer, and j. A. Logue, of South
Cumberland, fireman, had charge, made a
sample of what they all caught. They started
East Wednesday from Connellsville to Cum
berland with $500 tons of coal. At Marble
Hill the track was washed out and they started
back to Bidwell, only to ind the track back
of them gone. 4 delay of two hours exhausted
the water supply in the engines. and the fires
were pulled, except little al the doors.
Then food of water came rushing down the
mountains near the engines. They secured
boards. made trough and turned the noun
tain torrent into the tanks. Fires were again
started, and as soon as the track was in shape
they came putting home.
The trainmen say that in many places the
streams had washed the banks away up to the
ends of the ties, and that they got on places
ike this in the dark with nothing left TO run
on. trusting to luck. They would be on an east
bound track for while and then on Il west
bound, shifting back and forth. Every side,
track was filled with trains. 1t will be several
DAYS before the freight schedules can be un
tangled.
