WILLIMANTIC

I mained on the rails and extended over the overhead bridge and some distance to the west. The twenty-eight cars at the head of the train were run to the l local yard. shortly after the wreck oc- cured. Hhe crash was heard all over the Yillaga. A cloud of dust from the car of lime obscured the wreckage for | some time after the crash and the tracks to the east for more than a hundred feet were covered with this substance It is considered a miracle that the de- railed car did not cause the other cars to plunge down the embanknent, after passing the station. or to topple over the ! bridge. The guard rail on the bridge was found to be displaced and lay on ne outside of the north rail.
