The noon Inland passenger came |
into town this morning with the pas |
sengers in the baggage car, having |
left the two passengers cars astride a |
drift near Poe, where a snow bank |
seven feet high was encountered. The
train was slowly making its way to
Moscow by backing up every few feet
and hitting the high snow drifts. When
an attempt was made to back to get
a fresh start the snow packed up
under the second car of the train so
high that it was lifted from the tracks
and both trucks set crOsswise. The
freight motors returned with the pas
senger motor to the scene at noon and
after considerable labor at clearing
away the snow under the cars which,
the trainmen said was packed like ce
ment, the trucks were shifted back on
to the track and journey resumed. The
train left this afternoon for Spokane
several hours late with the freight
motors a few minutes ahead to clear
the way.
