The Auburn Branch


From the Chenango Union of Norwich, NY
Thursday, June 1, 1876


   Thrown from the Track - The Friday morning train going west from DeRuyter, on the Auburn Branch, was thrown from the track at Cuyler -- the scene of the seizure and recapture of a passenger car, three weeks since -- by a piece of iron which had been placed in a frog near the depot.

   Conductor David Shattuck with his men succeeded in again placing the train upon the track, after a delay of upwards of two hours, when the journey was resumed without further molestation. Several Cuyler people were visible in the neighborhood of the accident, but no attempt was made to levy upon the Company's property. This was the first stop made at Cuyler since the fracas, and the trains continue to pass that station without halting. The people of Cuyler are not improving their case, in the estimation of the public.
