WRECK OF TRAIN 120 AT EAST CLARENDON

It is difficult to know at this late date, but I would guess that Bellows Falls bound freight #120 may have split a switch. Whatever the cause, things would have opened up in a day or two.

WRECK OF MILK TRAIN NEAR HICKS CROSSING

This wreck resulted when the Bennington-North Bennington Shuttle met the southbound Milk Train at Hick's Crossing (North Bennington) VT, on September 7, 1912. The tender at the top-center is lettered "Rutland" and is numbered 2044, making it a Ten Wheeler, class of Manchester 1902. The remains of the tender next to the curiosity seekers is lettered "New York (Central Lines?) across the side and what appears to be "Rutland" across the side of the coal bunker.
