A small wreck on the Coos Bay
Roseburg and Eastern Railroad near
Cedar Point last
Monday was
caused by a log having rolled down
the hill and lodging on the track,
near a curve.
The log was not visible on ac
count of the curve until the train
was almost onto it, consequently
it was impossible tor the engeneer
to stop his train before jamming in
to it.
Fortunately no one was hurt
although the train was consider
ably smashed up, the engine, ten
der and two box cars having been
derailed
and badly damaged.
Traffic was consequently delayed
for some time. The wreck was
about a mile below Cedar Point.
