TIE-UP ON THE MoFFAT ROAD

Reports that the clearing of the wreck
age from tunnel No. 16 on the Moffat
road would take a month almost led to
stampede of miners. The impending
exodus of coal producers was checked by
telegram from w. F. Thiehoff, acting
federal manager. who admonished all
miners to remain at their places, giving
every assurance that the road would be
cleared for traffic within week. In
order to make coed his promise the road
must be cleared for regular trains by
tomorrow evening.
The chain of accidents on the road
last week eliminated when a derailed
engine knocked the props from under the
roof of tunnel No. Is. thirty two miles
from Denver. The cattle train to which
the engine was attached was made up
OF cars containing Routt and Grand
county cattle. ]. l.. Norvell of Steam

from the Tomkins Cattle company of
Twentymile park and several shippers
from near Kremmling We're riding the
caboose. Following the wreck they turn
ed their cattle loose on the range and
they were later rounded up and driven
by the old fashioned method into Den
yer.
The Moffat road has had almost ev-
cry sort of wreck that ever befalls any
railroad, but this last one was something
new for even that luckless railway. The
engine of the heavy train left the rails
nj nf ha
ing through the timbers supporting the
roof and letting hundreds of tons of rock
cave into the tunnel, burying the engine
and cab, from which the engineer and
fireman miraculousy escaped. Engineer
Sweeney and Fireman Harrison were in
charge. The immense amount Of work
of removing the debris and putting the
road In working order may well be i'm
agined.
In order to make use of the scant
equipment on the east end of the road
and to get the mall into this section, 1t
was arranged to run trains each way
on alternate days. The train left Dem
yer Thursday. the first class mail, pas
sengers and hand baggage being trans
ferred around the obstruction. There
another train picked them up and
brought them through, arriving at Craig
early Friday morning, when 1t started
for Denver. transferring at tunnel No
10 at 10 O'Clock Saturday morning. This
has been continued up to the present
| time. A quantity OF parcels post has
been routed by Wolcott. and so has
reached Steamboat
In addition to this big wreck, several
OF minor Importance occurred during the
past two weeks. Twice In one day No.
was derailed but without injury to
anyone. The first wreck was just east
OF Vasquez. and the second derailment
occurred near Hot sulphur Springs when
the engine broke loose from the train
and turned completely over. landing on
i:s side In the ditch. The next day, oc-
tober 30. freight wreck near Azure In
Gore canon. delayed traffic for twelve
hours.
Spreading rails are said to be the
cause OF all these derailments. and af-
ter the ground is soildly frozen 1t is
likely that the trouble will cease
