Rutland, Jan. THE Rutland railroad
\ southbound evening passenger train wal
derailed Friday evening between South
Wallingford and Dandy. Nearly the en-
tire equipment left the iron, but the
cars remained right side up and no one
was injured. Traffic was accommodated
by sending the New York sleepers in
both directions, out of this city over the
Delaware & Hudson railroad. \ wrecking
crew was sent to the scene of the wreck
from this city and not until about noon
Saturday was the line open.
The accident, which happened on a
straight piece of track near a small en-
bankment, was due to the breaking of a
rail, the long continued extreme cold
probably having had some effect on the
metal. The locomotive stayed on the
track, but the baggage car, milk car,
combination coach and passenger car left
the rails, The milk car went clear of the
roadbed and was somewhat damaged.
