MAIN TRUNK LINE CLEAR
Br Tslemranil—Press Association. Taumarunui, December 14. The expectation that the Main Trunk line would be cleared by midnight proved over-sanguine.' The men worked hard, but the line was still blocked at 9 o’clock this morning. The slip itself was cleared by 10 o’clock last night, but difficulty was experienced in levering the engine back to the rails. This was accomplished about 10 o’clock this morning, and the engine brought on to Taumnrunui.
The line is now clear, and the express which left Auckland last night will arrive here at. 11 o'clock this morning. Passengers b y-he express trains which left Auckland at midday yesterday and Wellington at midday yesterday changed trains at the slip at 8 o’clock this morning, after a long wait during the night,.
