TKOL'CHTfUL MAN
i .
Engineer Moor, says the reason thaf ha..
brought the Elgin train in late last night
was that the snow was so deep and the
wind so blinding he was unable to see
where he was going and fearing that he
might take the "Belt Line" and go spining
round the valley and never be able to
stop, he simply shut off steam and waited
for the atmosphere to clear up.
