Railway Lines Cleared
(N.Z. Press Association! AUCKLAND, July 25. The railway lines which were blocked near Sylvia Park during the week-end after the derailment of 26 waggons on Saturday afternoon were open to traffic this morning. No estimate of the cost of the derailment could be obtained today. Hundreds of tons of phosphate, now mixed with railway ballast and bits of metal, mark the scene of the spectacular derailment. The waggons jumped the rails and ended in tangled piles of wreckage.
