WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR
REGENT WRECK SAID
ft 1
Railroaders in town 'the other day
say that few correct versions of the
recent wreck at Mile 205, were pub
lished and, as was charged a couple
of years ago, said they believed The
Gateway must have been bribed for
withholding details. (This space re.
served for loud and prolonged guf.
faws)
That wrecked was caused, it was
said, by a washout of the grade for,
following a general retrenchment pol
icy, instead of renewing the old cul
verts, they were filled in. The result
was that when the spring thaw took
place the winter’s snow came down
against the grade and for many miles
the water was up to the top of the
grade and at Mile 205, or Caswell,
there was only three men to patrol
the section with a hand.car. Tt was
fortunate, it was* stated, that a freight
train came along first for if a passen
ger train had hit it the next morning
some one, undoubtedly, might have
been seriously injured or killed.
Here was an instance, It was point
ed out, that in an effort to cut down
expenditures on the road, five cars,
one caboose and four flats-were lost
by fire. This loss would have kept 10
men on the Job and would have been
sufficient to have built new culverts
for many miles'.
