Train 1o2 Meets With
AccidsntNaaf yassa|boro.
The Forward Trucks Of Ten
der Leave the Rails.
Track Is Badly Torn Up But Fortu-
aately No One Is Injured.

The passengers on the st. John EX-
press, otherwise known as Train 1o2,
which is due to- leave Augusta at $50
p. NJ. had very narrow escape
Thursday afternoon from being in 4
train wreck of serious proportions.
This train which is made up of nine
heavy cars and was drawn by one Of
the big Mogul engines, ASP, when about
about a mile and half west of VAS
salboro came so near being ditched
that old railroad men say that it was
nothing short of a miracle that III :
engine and cars remained on the rails.
In some unaccountable way the for
ward trucks of the tender Of the big
engine turned and left the track, tear
ing up the SleeperS for distance OF
nearly 100 feet before the train could
be stopped. The train was not running
at high rate of speed and Engineer
Paul, who felt the shock as soon as the
forward truck struck the sand, was
able to bring the train to standstill,
wirile the rear trucks remained on the
iron. Several of the passengers and
tranmen We're slightly shaken up, but
fortunately no one was injured
The results of the accident were felt
the most in the delay to traffic, as the
tender was partly across the track and
tharsl&epers torn up 50 that it was nee
esslfy 10, send Il Wrecking train from
Waterville to get the disabled engine
from the track and relay the damaged
sleepers.
1t was So when Train 102, with
engine $50 in place of the big Mogul
finally left Nassalboro on her way t.
Augusta. The belated train pulled in
to the Augusta station at S53. Close
behind her was Train "a, which is due
to leave here at SO. One other west
the accident and this was Train 112,
which leaves here at us and which
came in at GIG. Freight Train 20 and
an extra west-bOund freight, which
were also held up in the blockade came
i'm shortly afterwards. Several of the
east bound trains We're also held on
sdings on account of the wreck, throw
ing the time schedule entirely off dur
ing the afternoon and evening.
A big crowd hung around the sta
ton making inquiries about the wreck
and the probable time on which the
trains would reach Augusta, and their
questioning were answered with great
patience by the operator A number Of
the passengers, who were intent upon
reaching Augusta. left the train i'm
mediately after the accident and taking
teams made connection with the L., A.
& w. Street Railroad at Vassalboro.
