Two Slight Accidents Happened in Cen
trail Vermont Yard.

Two mishaps in the railroad yard lat
last evening caused much inconvenience,
The milk train, southbound, carrying
mali and passengers, was held about half
an hour here, when draw bar on a
freight train, northbound, broke as the
train was about TO take the siding near
the granite sheds. Meanwhile another
uorthbound freight already occupying
the siding started to move and the en-.
CINE and few cars had taken the main
line when a brake beam near the rear
of the train fell down, deraiing two
empty refrigerator cars, jack knitting
them and all but tipping them broadside
over the bank near where the White Riv-
er track meets the Central Vermont
trace south OF the underpass. Conductor
Babcock got orders to proceed with the
rest of his train, and with the aid of the
engine following his train, which trans
ferred the one car and caboose back OF
the derailed cars, was able soon to go
north, followed in few minutes by the
other train. The wreckng train and
crew from st. Adams arrived this morn
ing to clear the siding and make traffic
possible one more between the White
River and Central Vermont roads The
two derailed cars presented a strange
appearance, tipped toward the White |
River track so much that some of the |
trucks cleared the rail by more than IL |
inches. The wreck was considered too |
complicated for the wrecking outfit at
White River Junction to handle.
