Bridge Damaged
[The Waterford Star, May 9, 1907]
Welland, May 4—Passenger traffic on the eastern section of the Michigan Central’s Canada division had to be detoured over the Wabash tracks between Buffalo and Canfield Junction, while freight traffic is stopped entirely, as the result of an accident which badly wrecked the company’s drawbridge across the Welland canal, at 3 o’clock this morning, and put that structure temporarily out of business.
A boat passing along the canal, ran into the bridge, owing, it is believed, to a misunderstanding of signals. The railway at once set a gang of men at work repairing the structure, and expect that the westbound track will be in use by tonight. It may take some days to repair the other track, which is in bad shape.
