TWO TRAINS

RUNNING TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER ON CANTERBURY LINE. HAPPILY HALTED IN GOOD TIME. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. Through a misunderstanding, two trains travelling in opposite directions were steaming towards each other on the Little River line on Monday afternoon, and were pulled up a few hundred yards apart. The trains involved were a second excursion train for the city from the Motukarara races and an afternoon train from Christchurch to Little River. The Little River train had apparently left Lincoln Station after the departure of the race train from Motukarara, although the line is a single one. When within 300 yards of each other the trains were halted, although they were pulled a little closer before the Little River train was shunted back to Lincoln. “There was a misunderstanding on the part of certain members of the staff and the matter is being dealt with bv the Department,” commented the District Traffic Manager of Railways, Mr G. H. McLean, when he was questioned about the incident.
