BOAT TRAIN STRUCK ROCK NEAR JEWETT CITY. Engine Had Ground It Between Rails— Second One Near the Bridge. ‘When the Consolidated boat train arrived here Friday night the report of a “rough spot” just this side of ti Jewett City bridge was turned in, word was telephoned up to Jewett City to have the crew on the trolley car leaving Jewett City at 10.09 look it up “Rough spot” is the technical term in railroad language to indicate that the train ran over some hard object on the rails, or a bad bit of track that might need fixing.

It was stated from an authoritative source Friday night that last Tuesday evening the trolley crew on the 1. trip from Norwich found & large point- ed stone sticking up between the ralls at the same bridge, but on the Jewett City side.
