Sun Buckles Railway Lines
The intense heat of the sun last Thursday was the principal cause of a portion of the railway line at Bennett’s Siding, near Taihape, buckling out about 4in. A serious accident might have occurred had not Mr. L. Buckell, a railway ganger, noticed the condition of the track and held ud an approaching train. Other trains were also delayed while the damaged rails were replaced.
