EXPRESSES DELAYED
Shunting Engine Derailed at Aramoho LITTLE DAMAGE TO TRACK By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wanganui, June 2. The main railway line at Eastown (Aramoho) was blocked for about live hours on Saturday afternoon through a shunting engine jumping the points. The mishap occurred half an hour before the New’ Plymouth express to Wellington was due, and the train was held at Aramoho station while the passengers walked across the bridge and joined a special train which had arrived from Palmerston North for a football match. The special then took up the running of the express, leaving two and a half hours late. Meanwhile, a temporary track was laid round the engine, but the express from Wellington was delayed over two hours until a new track could be completed.
