A freight train, coining- west,
was wrecked at Kobsart siding-,
hcvcu miles r.ust of Currizozo, Sat
urday morning- between 12 and 1
o'clock. Thirty-six curs left the
track, between engine and ca
boose, and the wrecked cars, in
one inextricable confusion, oiled
one on another until the pinnacle j
had the appcuraticc of a miniu-,
turc mountain peak. None of
the crew was iniured. Conductor
Kernell and Engineer Gurviii
were in charge of the train. A
broken arch bur and u broken
wheel arc ussigned as causes for
the wreck. The company esti
mates the wreck caused a damage
of $25,000.00.
The train carried u mixed cur
go, consisting of live curs of
merchandise, a lur;c number of
coal and coke, also a few empty
stock cars. The wrecking crew

badly demolished to repair
be burnt on the ground.
Traffic was interrupted for ten
or twelve hours, and until a shoo-
liy was built uround the wreck.
It is the opinion ot tuc omctals
that the wreckage will be cleared
away and the main line open for
trafhc by noon today.
Notwitstandinir the fact that
no lives were lost, in a liiiuncial
way, coupled with a disarrange
ment of the service, Superintend
ent Morros considers it the most
disastrous wreck the system has
suffered in its history. In fact,
is is said to be the worst wreck
in the history of railroading, with
one exception.
With goods of ull kinds scat
tered over the plain, cars piled
mountain high, the mass a con
glomerate mixture, the whole
tiling formed a perfect picture of
ruin and destruction. Many of
the town people visited the scene
of disaster Sunday, and a number
took snapshots at the debris with
camera and kodak.
