Electrification 1915

[NW Mailing List]

Dave,

    The accident took down a portion of the catenary, which due to shortages
on account of the war in Europe took time to gather up replacement material.

  Historians:

  In reference to the recent Arrow, (Vol. 26, No 2; Apr, May, Jun, 2010),
  "The Electric N&W - part 2", page 14, column 3, paragraph 1:

  <snip>
  "The difference between the averages for 1915 and those of 1916 may be
accounted for in the accident that occurred last spring, whereby for a very
considerable period the station capacity was reduced to one electric train
with one pusher."
  <snip>

  To what 'accident' is this referring?
