C&NW Locomotive Derailed
A Chicago & North Western railroad diesel-powered freight
locomotive was derailed about 3:30 a.m., Friday while switching
on a sidetrack in the O’Neill yards during a storm. A faulty switch
was blamed for sending one section of the locomotive one direc
tion and the lead section another. The train was in reverse at the
time, and when the front of the train failed to “track” it became
derailed. In the proceedings some rails were twisted and bent (see
arrow). The locomotive did not upset and traffic on the mainline
was not affected.—The Frontier Photo.
