Traffic on the Williannpo: t t: | North Branch railroad was held U|. j for three hours Monday afternoon by J a pile-up of three freight «-ars at th*- j Muncy Valley station, and Tuesday the wreckage had not heeii cleared away by the crew that worked in j cessantly since the smash at "> o'clock ; in the afternoon. Northbound trains ; were delayed for hours and the south bound trains were running behind their schedules throughout the entire ] day ns a result of the accident. While a freight crew was doing some switching at the Muncy Valley station the brakes on the cars failed to work and box ears started down the switch and the main track at the same time colliding at the place where the switch meets t'ie main line. One freight car was toppled over, another was hoisted into tin air, and the third was jammed in between the debris. The mishap oc cured only a few minutes before the northbound passenger train was due. and it was necessary for them to wait until the wreck train from Uughesville arrived on the scene. Word was sent to Uughesville immediately and the wreck crew was hurried to the station. For three hours they worked to clear the track and allow the passenger to pass the wreckage. On account of the single track system it was with difficulty that the trains minouvercd about the pi!e-up, and the entire switching place at Muncy Valley*was utilized to the greatest advantage. Tuesday workman were busy clearing away the debris and unloading the car that had toppled over completely. Damage to the the goods in the box cars was the extent of the loss, a none of the cars are beyond repair. The managers of the big (; ranger's ! picnic at Williams' (trove must pay j S. 11.
