Train Derailment Blocks Western Railway Tracks
A derailed freight train three quarters of a mile east of Fariville caused nine cars to pile up and one oil tank car to spill but avoid explosion. The blame lay on a broken journal, telegraph lines were damaged, and trains were detoured with delays to Waterloo. No injuries reported and repairs started immediately by wreckers and section crews. The incident disrupted Nos. 21 and A trains though recovery teams worked to restore the line.
