EXPRESS IS DERAILED IN FLOOD AT NIGHT.
Fifty Passengers On Train In N.S. W. Are Marooned In Darkness.
(United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Received February 18, 9.45 a.m.) SYDNEY, February 18. A cloudburst near Molong badly damaged the railway line last night and caused a shallow lake to form. The Forbes express dashed into this and the permanent way collapsed derailing the engine and tender and two carriages. Fifty passengers were marooned and unable to get away in the darkness owing to the water. A relief train was sent from Bathurst. There is no mention of any casualties.
