OFF LOCOMOTIVE

AS a train arriving here from
Philadelphia at 5.45 o'clock yester-
day afternoon, was pulling out OF
French street station, one of the
pony wheels" of the locomotive
came off causing the front wheels of
the engine to leave the tracks. The
consequent delay in traffic was not
serious.
The train had discharged its pas
sengers and had gone but a short
distance bound for the west yard,
when the accident occurred. One
of the pony wheels on the front of
the engine had come off. but as the
train was proceeding very slowly
at the time. only the front wheels
left the rails.
After working for about a half
hour the wreckng crew were able
to retrack the engine which pro-
ceeded with the train to the west
yard. only a few trains were de-
layed along the line by the accident.
