Milk Train Runs Into Open Switch at
Central Village Delay, But Little
Damage Installations 8ocial and
Personal Items. .
Tuesday morning 'northbound train.
No. 704, known as the milk train, ran
into an open switch Just south of the
station at Central Village. This train,
due at 6.42 a. was aJittle late and
approached the station going at a
fairly good rate of speed. Running
over the. switch point, which is about
GOO feet south of the station, engine
and train ran into the switch and
went the entire length of it. This
ewitch is used by the Norwich-Taft-vills
trolley cars which xun on the
steam road from Central Village and
is built butting, up against the south
end of the station. The locomotive of
the train ran over and beyond the rails
and nearly into the station platform.
The rest of the cars remained on the
rails. Passengers were hardly aware
of any unusual occurrence except the
suddenness of the stop. Word was j
Bent xo futnam tor anotner engine and
at 8.15 o'clock the train proceeded to
Worcester, just an hour and one-half
late. This engine made the run from
Putnam to Central Village in fourteen
minutes a distance of nearly fifteen
miles. At 9.30 the wrecker and steam
derrick from Midway came and pulled
the locomotive upon tha rails. Little
damage was done to it. Just how the
switch became open was unknown
Tuesday. This early car etays on the
switch over night at the station and
had proceeded toward Norwich when
the train ran into the switch. The
train could not slacken its speed be
cause of the slippery conditions the
rails. Trainmen spoke of the fact that
had the train been the boat freight,
which usually precedes the milk train,
things would have been much worse.
This is a heavy express freight and
would probably have torn through the
station before it could be stopped. This
freight, however, had been stopped at
Plainfleld to leave some cars and had
permitted the passenger train to go
ahead. Officials are to investigate with
a view of ascertaining the cause of the
ewitch being open.
