RAILROAD OFFICIALS HERE
Trains Held up at Atlantic Because
Of Ice

BB Special Correspondent.
TOTTENVILLE, Feb. 1S:-Be-
cause of the l~!teness Of several of the
early morning trains arriving at st.
George from Tottenville the past
week on account Of the storm some
of the head officials of the Staten
Island Rapid Transit have come out
from st. George on the last train and
stayed over night at Tottenville to
see what the trouble was with the
trains. Monday morning n OF the
early trains became stuck at the At
lantic station and held up the traffic
westbound for some time. The loco
motive became frozen fast to the
track and could not move the train.
The water from the rain OF Sunday
night had flooded the tracks at hat
point and when the train stopped at
the station the water got up In the
driving wheels and the engine could
not move.
Some of the other trains were de-
layed by frozen switches and minor
troubles. A gang of men have been
at the Atlantic crossing for the past
two days cutting the ice away from
the rails so as not to have the same
thing happen again should there be
a cold snap.
