THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT,
To the Editor.
Sir,-— The accideut on the Green Island line this morninar, although fortunately not attended with any very serious consequences, is, I fear, only the tirst instalment of what we may expect. Wh° can for a moment consider the amount of management which could leave four trucks for upwards of an hour on sneb a dangerous part of a line as the heavy incline between Kensington and the Caversham roads? Another great source of danger is what no English railway engineer would allow, and that is the “ facing points,” of which there aro four between Dunvdin and Caversham. I may be told that on a single line these cannot be avoided ; but when it is a question between Her Majesty’s subjects and the pecuniary advantage of private individuals, they ought never to be allowed,—l am, &c , A Sufferer in a small degree, Dunedin, October 27.
