On New Brit branch they have.' been on time but it was necessary to ! replace the clectric trolley on the Middletown branch by a steam train. Late yesterday afternoon it was found difficult for the trolleys to run on this line because of the hcavy piling up of the snow on the tracks and the k of force of the cars to remove Trolley Derailed. The trolley service offered by the Connecticut company from Berlin to New Britain ended about 11 o'clock .sterday morning. The snow plow was sent to Berlin by the Connecti- cut company yesterday morning to clear the tracks of snow and succeed- | ed in getting as far as the Kilby | House when it went off the tracks. Following the snow plow was the regular car which was able to come as far as Upson's corner when it also left the tracks. The car swerved to the left and shot across the road, stopping all traffic, if there was any With the two ¢ off the tracks the same time, and one so far off, it was necessary to send word to the office in New Britain. Later the wrecking ¢ came upon the scene and succeeded in placing both cars on the tracks. The three then left for New Britain and there have been none down here since. Work was started on the New Brit- ain end of the line today and the trol- leys might be running to Kensington by tomorrow but it is doubted as to whether or not they will be able to reach Berlin street within the next few Aays.
