is doubtful if they were caught, and
probably they dropped off somewhere
before the cars were wrecked. This
cannot be definitely ascertained until
the bottom of the mass is reached
some time tomorrow.
The train 3S4 in charge of Conduc-
tor Tom Lunnine and Engineer George
Waldron of Waterville left Richmond
bound for Portland with so cars.
Almost opposite the Harvard station
a wheel on a Pennsylvania refrigera :
tor car broke and the train piled up
Thirty-one cars in the middle of the
train, IA loaded and II empty, are
piled in an ineonceivable confusion On
the main line. Until nearly S this
morning the siding was also blocked
but the big wrecking trains from
Portland and Waterville which ar
rived about 4, dumped the cars on the
siding into the ditch in order to al
low the mail train to pass.
The car which caused the trouble was
No 10 in the train. The nine cars for
ward of that were taken to Brunswick
while the 10 cars on the rear, includ-
ing the caboose, were pulled back to
Richmond. The cars which are wreck
ed were mainly of steel construction.
Most of the empty cars were steel gon-
dolas while of the loaded cars large
majority had steel frames These cars
are stood on end, tipped upside down
and in ever other imaginable. position.
The tracks for long distance are torn
to pieces one rail was found on top of
a box car. This will give some idea
of the force with which the cars struck.
Many of the trucks are buried complete
ly out of sight.
When the train went through Rich
mond three tramps were noticed riding
about In the middle of the train. Since
the wreck nothing has been seen of these
men, AS a razor was found about where
the tramps were riding 1t is feared by
the trainmen that when the debris is
cleared away their mangled bodies will
be found beneath the pile of wreckage.
Most Of the loaded cars had cargoes
of potatoes while few were loaded
struction of the cars, their contents re-
main practically intact. very few of the
cars being broken open. Some OF the
cars are out in the ditch many feet
away from the railroad and it will be a
days work in some cases to get one car
back on the track, as a spur track will
have ID be built to the spot they landed.
