Railway Accident.

The passenger train from Mangaweka, on the Main Trunk Line, was derailed a mile beyond Rata on Tuesday morning, by the van going off, due it was considered to an axlebox breaking. The engine, a butter van, and two trucks were in front of the brokendown carriage. Four trucks and two double-passenger carriages were derailed, but the guard’s van remained on the line.

The rails were badly bent and torn up, and the sleepers were smashed like matchwood for several chains. The passengers, about a dozen, were taken on to Marton in the butter-waggon.
