Fruit sheds smashed in railway wreck.

Collision occurs at Vineland station and two are injured slightly

Special Despatch to The Globe.

Grimsby, Sept. 26.—A rear-end collision occurred on the Canadian National Railways at Vineland station this afternoon when a heavy freight train plowed into the rear of the fruit express, which was on the Vineland siding loading fruit. Two members of the train crews were slightly injured.

Several express cars on the fruit train were derailed and badly wrecked. The fruit platform and the storehouse of the Vineland Growers' Co-operative Company were totally wrecked by the locomotive of the freight train when it left the rails and headed into the buildings. Several coal cars on the freight also left the rails. The wreckage took fire, but the outbreak was quickly put down by the Vineland Fire Department. Fruit was strewn on the right-of-way for some distance.

Fortunately, there were only a few men on the fruit platform when the accident took place and escaped injury.
