"EXPLOSION AT WABUSKA"
A fire and
explosion occurred at Wabuska Saturday night, in which two men were
badly injured and a half a dozen cars destroyed. A car of crude oil
was being emptied into a tank and a yard man who had a lighted torch
in his hand leaned over to see how full the tank was. The torch
ignited the oil and in a few moments a roaring fire was in progress.
The trainmen uncoupled the cars and ran them down the track but not
far enough to prevent the flames from reaching two cars of gasoline.
A terrific explosion resulted and oil and gasoline were scattered in
all directions, six cars with their contents being destroyed. --
