The fiagnan of the freight dropped off
to flag the passenger but did not walk
back very far as he supposed that the
freight would continue on, which it
failed to do, except to round the sharp
curve at that point, coming to a stop.
He tagged the passenger and brakes
were applied but the train ran around
the curve, striking the rear of the
freight. The impact caused the stove
in the caboOse to be overturned and
a fire started burning up the caboose
and causing damage to the car ahead
of it. The forward part of the passen-
ger engine was damaged to some ex-
tent David Shea, road foreman was
at the throttle of the passenger engine
and jumped, cutting his nose slightly.

train was hardly noticeable. The

trains were sent over track No . be-
ing delayed but a short time.

ahead of the 3.05 passenger train into
this city held back the latter train
from Hartford because of a slight ac-

knuckle of one of the box cars. The
engine of the freight train pulled the
cars behind 1t into siding at Andov-
er, then the engine of the passenger
train pushed the other freight cars
into siding and thus opened the
way for the passenger train into this
