TRUCKS LEAVE RAILS
Piled Up in a Gully MISHAP AT A BEND By Telegraph—Press Association. Taumarunui, August 5. Fourteen trucks and a guard’s van of a ballast train broke away from the engine on the spiral at nine o’clock this morning and careered downhill, leaving the rails on a bend and piling up in a gully. The guard, Mr. J. Lyons, escaped with a shaking and a few bruises. Repair gangs have gone out from Ohakune and Taumarunui. The line will probably be blocked for some hours.
