CROSSING ESCAPE
Car-driver Fined For driving a motor-car across the Porirua railway crossing when the line was not clear Ruth Gilmer, Otaki, was fined £2 and costs in the Police Court yesterday by Mr. C. R. OrrWalker, S.M. The tablet-porter at the station, Mr. K. A. Brennan, said that on the morning of October 11 last he saw the Napier-Wellington express, a non-stop train, approaching the crossing. When the train was about 150 to 200 yards off and all the signals were working he saw a car approaching on the eastern side. The ear was slackening down in speed, and by the time it was passing over the tracks it had almost stopped. It then went into low gear and was just missed by the train as it left the crossing. Witness took tlie number of tlie car and reported the incident to the police.
