Wisconsin Central Wrecks Prompt Freight Train Fault
Wisconsin Central has suffered a surge of rail wrecks over the past two weeks with several incidents involving freight trains. Last Sunday southbound No. 21 derailed two stock cars at a local point, and earlier there were multiple wrecks at different road locations. Officials blame heavy locomotives pulling long trains for repeated derailments, noting recent engine additions and fragile cars contributing to the accidents. A Wednesday night derailment about a mile south left seven cars derailed and badly smashed.
