A through freight train on the Housatonic system left Wilson Point at 1:10 with eleven cars. From a short distance below where the accident 00- eurred there is a curve in the tracks and a rather steep grade. En ineer Ferris of the Housatonic ti ain ad a full head of steam on and as he neared the point where the Consolidated rail- road crosses the tracks of the Danbury section, saw 9. Consolidated train pul — ing out, and whistled for down brakes but the signal was heeded too late, and his engine No. 34 crashed into the Consolidated train, a few cars from the locomotive, and four cars were pro- miscuously tumbled'from the tracks, the trucks of one of them landing on the pilot of the engine. Three of the cars were thrown from their trucks and tumbled over on their sides. The cow-catcher of the locomotive was torn ‘ofl‘ and the boiler head and steam chest on the right side badly smashed. A wrecking train was soon at the scene and the wreck shortly cleared. Fortu- nately no one was hurt.
