Engines Too Heavy for Track
    Nearly every day this week there has been a bad wreck on the Virginian and this has kept the trains tied up.  Many people claim that the heavy Mallet engines which are operated on new track are responsible as the monster engines keep the track in a continually shaky condition.  The track east of Princeton has not been down a year yet and therefore is soft.
