Fortunately the obstruction was discovered in time by Mr. Henry Waterman, the head engineer of the road,' and was removed.

On another occasion, Cap tain Stevenson also found s rock weighing up wards of fire hundred pounds, lying in the mid die of the track, betwdeh Forty-first and Forty- second streets, which was designedly placed there, about fifteen minutes before the Albany Express train came along.
