RAILWAY MISHAP
DEFFICULT REPAIR WORK. Per Press Association. HAMILTON, Nov. 2. The completition of a new loop line near Te Rapa station, where yesterday’s train collision occurred, has obviated any disorganisation of traffic. It is not possible to move the engine off the permanent way and special lifting equipment is to be brought from Auckland and Ohakune next week. In the meantime the tender will be severed from the engine in order to divide the total weight of 68 tons and facilitate The lifting operations.
An unofficial estimate of the damage is in excess of £6OOO.
