AUTOMOBILES STREWN ALONG RAILWAY

When an axle broke on the rear car of a freight train near Cincinnati recently, and the car was overturned, the resulting wreck strewed along the track a number of the new automobiles with which the train was loaded. The photograph shows the odd sight presented when the single track was cleared of the wreckage, valuable autos and freight-car trucks being scattered on both sides of the right-of-way. Some of the autos sustained little damage; others were wrecked beyond repair.—Popular Mechanics Magazine.
