Supply Car Burned

   The Norfolk & Western supply car which supplies oil to the 
stations along the line for the signal lamps, caught fire on the 
Lynchburg & Durham division Tuesday afternoon and before the flames 
could be extinguished was entirely consumed. Owing to the inflammable 
nature of the contents it was only a few moments before the whole car 
was enveloped in flames. No. 3 was delayed three hours waiting for 
the connection.
