LIMITED EXPRESS LATE
VAN DERAILED AT JOHNSONVILLE [ Per Trcfts Association. ] WELLINGTON, July 23. The derailment of a van in the Johnsonville railway yard prevented the Limited express from using the usual route to-night and the train left via the Tawa Flat deviation nearly two hours late. Night goods trains have used the new line for many months and railcars occasionally, but this was the first time travellers by the regular trains have been over the new route. The accident which caused the delay happened on a track parallel to the main line, an empty van swinging across the tracks and projecting over the main line sufficiently to prevent its use.
