GENERAL MIX-UP M. C. DEPOT

PASSENGER TRAINS SUFFERED LITTLE DELAY

An accident occurred yesterday noon at the Michigan Central depot which, although delaying traffic for a short time, had no serious results. As a freight train from the east stopped in front of the depot, the middle cars were brought to a stop on the curve at the foot of Glen avenue. Three of these cars were loaded with upright engines which were being sent to Chicago from the Hammond Beef Co. Stopping as they did, on the curve, made them top heavy and the cars and engines were thrown over, making a terriffic noise.

The freight was on the middle track but the other tracks were blockaded from the box car, in front of the engine loaded cars, being thrown on one track and the car to the rear, loaded with steel rails, was thrown on the other track. The box car was light and the track was soon cleared so that the passenger trains had little delay.
