Roswell Rail Derailment Jams Carlsbad Clovis Line
A ten car derailment occurred about 7 40 p m Saturday a half mile south of Roswell on the Carlsbad to Clovis line of the Santa Fe Railroad. No casualties were reported though freight cars were scattered along the old Dexter Highway. Another derailment had disrupted the Portales to Roswell segment a day earlier. A hot box likely caused both mishaps, with speeds around 25 miles per hour and limited visibility due to dust. The Roswell incident involved 82 cars on a four unit locomotive freight, with the 43rd car detaching and causing a chain reaction. The crew, all residents of Clovis, included conductor C G Davis engineer R C Parker fireman C J Fitz and brakemen J J Johnson and R D Benner.
