GRAHAM WRECK
DAMAGE $4,000
Big Mallet Engine Which
Toppled Yesterday Was
Placed or the Track
this Morning

The big Mallet engine No. 098
which toDpled over near Graham yes
terday morning was placed on the
track ready to be moved to the shops
at 1855 this morning. The entire
damage is estimated at $4,000, $10,-
900 to the engine and $4,000 to the
track and rolling stock.
1t is the first time that the train
master OF the Pocahontas division
ever had TO tackle proposition OF
this kind. Only n few months ago the
Mallet engines were introduced on
the Norfolk a. Western system and
this is the first instance in which one
OF the big machines was wreck
I'd. The train department, however,
was able 20 meet the situation. with
the assistance OF a derrick ordered
from Radford and two belonging TO
the local yards the immense weight
was raised and the engine picked up
and placed on its feet. The sheer
weight lifted was 150 tons. The en-.
tire weight Of the engine with tender.
water and coal is 24O tons. Railroad
men generally say 1t was good job.
and that Harry Weller, the train mas
ter, and the entire train department
deserves great credit.
The original cost OF the engine was
$4,000, and II has been in service
for only short time The purpose
OF the company in securing the Nal
lets was to aid in hauling the heavy
trains over the grades in this section
OF country. The engine will be TAX.
on TO the shops at once for repair.
