A peculiar accident happened to the
branch train Saturday afternoon as it
/ was returning from a trip to the june
I ton. When a short distance below the
station here, the forward axle broke on
the right side Of the frame and the rear
axle on the left side. The longer ends
4 dropped to the ground and tore up the
roadbed somewhat, ma king it necessary
/ TO call the wreck train, the road being
cleared before midnight. No one was
hurt, but had the accident happened on
curve, with the train going at much
speed it would undoubtedly have lett
the rails. A train was made up to
carry passengers between here and
Barre. II was necessary for them TO
4 walk from the station here to the place
/ where the accident occurred and then
/ take another train for the Junction, in
/ order to connect with the north and
south bound evening trains.
