Union Bridge Burned Blocks Traffic East of Union
Rail traffic on the O R and N line was stopped for about six hours as a fire burned three bridge bents one mile east of Union. The blaze, spotted at 6 30 am by Union station operator, destroyed two full bents and part of a third. The bridge spans a 25 foot gulch posing disaster if a train crossed at night. By noon congestion eased though trains remained delayed as Number 5 and Number 17 were diverted, with Number 10 still affected.
