4 5 MIN UTE TlE-UP.
Brakes Stuck 40 Minutes
After Passenger Pulled
Emergency Cord.

Thousands Of persons were ma
rooned on the elevated structure OF
the Lexington Avenue Subway at
wcstchcster and linton Avenues, the
Bronx, scores os women were rem
dered hysterical and fire in hun
dreds of Christmas trees directly be-
meath the L was narrowly averted
shortly after noon to-day when a fuse
blew out in a motor box on one OF the
cars Of "a ten-car express and for n
minute cnvelopcd the car with flames.
In the excitement some ono on the
train pulled the emergency cord with
such force that after the fire was cX =
tinguishcd and the excitement quelled
it required forty minutes TO release
the brakes of the ten cars, with the
result that several elevated lines in
the Bronx and the northbound tracks
of the Lexington Avenue subway were
tied up during the peak of the Sat e.
urday afternoon rush hour.
The elevated structure Is in the ma
tire of the neck of the bottle for sew
cral branch lines in the Bronx, such
as the Jerome Avenue line. that to
West Farms, and others. The ten
car express was proceeding north
along WestChcstcr Avenue when at
linton Avenue the fuse blew out. 4
high sheet of flame burst up around
the windows of tho car and several
women screamed, while mon rushed
to open the doors. Some one in the
car pulled the emergency cord and the
train came TO an abrupt stop, throw
ing passengers in huddlcd heaps.
The car came to n stop directly over
street market in front Of which
were stacked hundreds Of Christmas
trees, and the shooting flames came
perilOusly near igniunE these Sew
crhl men in the street, however.
rushed to them and removed them
from danger, but not before the tops
of some of them were singed.
Meanwhile, on the train, which
had been stopped a long way from
any station, guards went into the
third car and informed passengers
that there was no danger. They
requested passengers IN that car to
walk slowly into other cars Of the
train. which they did.
Some one i'm the street tclephoncI
a still alarm and Battalion Chief
Gray and Truck Company No. 10 re-
sponded. Chief Gray and another
fireman climbed a ladder that was
placed against the l. structure and
put the blaze out with hand fire cx-
tinEuishers.
Then, after the excitement had been
quclled, the motorman OF the train
found himself unable to start il. In
vestigation showed that the brakes on
each of the ten cars we're locked
tightly. II required forty minutes 10
release them, and by that time trains
were strung out for several blocks.
The mOtormen Of some Of these We're
able TO bring their cars to a stop at
station platforms and their passengers
alightcd and took other means OF
transportation to their homes, but
those trains which were stalled be-
tween stations trapped their passen-
gers, for about three quarters Of an
hour.
The tic-up was felt for a long time
afterward in the subway.
