The branch train had gone down from
Burlington and was moving slowly over
the switch onto the main line, prepara-
tory to backing into the station, when
the Limited, consisting of eight cars In
charge of Conductor Maun and Engineer
Brown, came around the curve at the
usual rate of about 90 miles an hour
and struck the branch train headon.
Every passenger, except those who hap
pened 10 be braced with their feet on
the sent i'm front of them, was thrown
from his seat and the Limited was bad-i
ly damaged throughout. Among the
passengers were 80 Odd Fellows from
all over New England on their way to
attend convention in Winnipeg, Mani
toba. In the parlor car, chairs were
torn from their sockets and the dining
car interior was practically stripped OF
its belongings, all the crockery and
glassware being broken to atoms. the
range torn from its fastenings and the
water tank emptied from leaks. The.
chef, George Winn was burned with hot
coffee and his assistants were cut by the
flying crockery and glassware.
The forward end of the mail car was
crushed in. the forward ends of both
engines were badly damaged and thel
lining car was temporarily disabled, but
six of the cars were taken out and sent
,n to Montreal behind another engine.
The engine on the Limited was a new
,ne of the Pacific type, which was placed
IN the road for the first time this sum-
ner. The one on the branch train was
he same which fell into washout near
in 1902, with less of four
ives. A new local train, southbound.
vas made up, starting about three hours
ate. None of the cars left the rails and
he wrecking train had little work to get
he tracks clear.
Responsibility for the accident has not
ret been placed, as it is said the turn
It the "Y" was being made under pro-
ection of the semaphore at the tims
he Limited rounded the curve.
