Good luck undoubtedly prevented a
serious accident with perhaps great
loss of life Thursday afternoon. Just
as the Green Mountain flyer from the

became loose and jumped the track,
when it struck the frog. The train
was over AN hour late and had been
making especially fast time. Just
what would have happened while go
ing at the rate of 60 miles an hour or
more is a matter of conjecture.
