THE RAILROAD
IS BLOCKED
Alameda's Passengers Detained
in Cordova by Slides on the
Copper River Railroad
Passengers mi Hit? Sampson
slal.it llial many sn«»\v and rock
slides have completely hlockiyl
traffic on the Copper lliver and
Northwestern railroad. The Ala
meda's passengers are si ill ma
jrooned at Cordova, and there is
no telling when trains* will re
sume their runs. Rock slides have
torn out many hundreds of feet
of track at different places be
tween mile 55 and Chitina, and
both snow plows are caught on
the Cordova oml. The mail is
now being carried through.on the
baeks~Njf thv section crews.
No p mictions can lie made as
to when /lie line will be re—open
ed for regular traffic. Passen
gers bound for the interior are
becoming very impatient, as the
snow is fast disappearing in the
interior. All the idle men to be
had have been put to workk shov
eling slides but are making slow
progress owing to the quantity of
rock in the slides and it si not
expected that much aid will be
had from the plows, when they
do work their way to the big
slides owing to the rock mixed in
jibe sliding snow.
