Freight Pile up
On Eastern Division

Portland, July 19.-The most SER
ious freight wreck in many years
according to old time railroad men
occurred last night about 10 o'clock
on the Eastern Division of the Maine
Central railroad between Oak Hill
and West Scarboro station, when 10
cars loaded with freight We're derail-
ed and smashed beyond further use,
as the result of a broken truck on
the 18th car of the train which was
made up of 80 cars.
The train was made up at Aver,
Mass. and was bound to Portland
Ties were torn up for a distance of
a quarter of a mile west of where
the wreck lies and steel rails were
bent double as the heavy cars
dragged along the roadbed after be-
ing thrown over on their sides. Out
of the Is cars derailed nine were
SO badly damaged that it will be al
most impossible to repair them.
Three of the cars were smashed al
together so that they bear no re-
semblance to anything like freight
car.
A car loaded with shelled corn was
torn from the trucks, the trucks going
in one direction and what remained of
the body in another. The other cars
were loaded with various kinds Of
manufactured articles such as fertil-
izer and cases of tin cans.
c. A. Kane, tranmaster Of the Bos-
ton & Maine railroad. arrived at the
scene of the wreck from Dover with a
wrecking crew shortly after IL O'Clock
today. Mr.. Kane said that in all of
his Is years experience he had never
seen such a bad wreck, or one which
had caused such great damage. When
asked how long It would be before traf-
fic could be routed over the road, Mr..
Kane said he could not estimate the
time.
Cars are lying directly across the
tracks and the rails. ties and roadbed
for a distance of 200 yards were COM
pletely destroyed. Owing to the fact
that two engines were of the rails
at the Thompson Point shops and
nearby roundhouses. no wrecking crew
from Portland had been able to get
to the wreck from the Portland side.
Rail repair crews were early at
work this morning rebuilding the
road bed up to. the point where the
wrecker had. 10 &c to get near e.
nough to raise.the damaged cars.
For DISTANCE of IS feet on each
side of the track, cars were thrown
lengthwise and embedded deep in the
soft mud of the marshes. Twisted
rails have become wrapper around
the broken trucks of cars, and tops
of sides Of steel cars were smashed
in.
A peculiar feature ofthe wrick was
that in leaving the rails and swing
ing to the side Of the roadbed, none
OF the telephone poles along the
road were broken. Cars swept
alongside and past telephone poles
and found resting lace in between,
while the surface OF the ground was
torn deap with great holes.
Traffic was being routed. over the
western division until the wreck is
cleared which may take q couple
OF days.
