Caboose on loose, plunges into pit.
Stratford, Feb. 24 (CP).—A 15-ton railway train caboose, parked in the CNR freight yard here, rolled 350 yards along the track today and plunged into an open roundhouse turntable pit.
The caboose was detached from a freight train earlier and was to be picked up by an afternoon freight. The car rolled part the roundhouse and, as the 90-foot turntable rails were not in line, plunged into the hole.
