WORST STO • M OF SEASON.
Severe gales, a companied by blind-
ing snow that d fted over roadways.
and railways, visited this section on
Wendesday eveni g last and continued
until Friday aft-rnoon, Everywhere
the storax is conce, ed to have been the
worst in years and not since the winter
of 1904 did the rai i oads in this section
suffer so badly as hey did last week,
The country roads ere impassable for
two days and not any farmers visited
Wingham until Sa rday.
Wednesday nigh 's London train did
not reach Wingh m until after 11
o'clock and the 1 to train from Pal-
merston•was staller. at Lucknowon the
same evening. :lows and engines
were put to work on both branches of
the G. T. R. and it + was Friday even-
ing before the train were running any
way near schedule time.
On the 0. P. R. traffic was blocked
very badly. Wedne day night's train
from Toronto did n t get into Wing -
ham, but through to Teeswater, reach-
ing that place duri ig Thursday fore-
noon. Thursday the e was nothing do-
ing on the C. P. R. a far as Wingham
was concerned. F iday morning a
snow plow with two engines attached
left Teeswater at o'clock and when
coming into Wing am shortly after
seven o'clock the ow turned turtle
and left the track a the old tannery
yard. Fortunately he plow remained
right side up and w nt far enough off
the rails so as to cle r them and thus
did not interfere ith traffic. The
morning train from eeswater reached
Wingham shortly b fore noon on Fri-
day and this was th only train for the
day. Traffic was re. umed on Saturday
morning.
Sunday morning he crew of the
freight train came o er from Teeswat-
er and assisted by th bridge workmen
spent the whole da in getting the
snow plow back on t e track. The men
were placed at consi erable disadvant-
age in their work as they did not have
the proper tools for d ing work of this
kind, but they kept t it and accom-
plished the task sh rtly before six
o'clock. The weather being extra fine
on Sunday, the scene o• the wreck was
visited by a large number of our towns-
people.
