Trucking Pigs at Teviotville.
How great has been the advance of the pig raising industry in Queensland in the last ten years can only be fully realised by the traveller who frequently journeys along the railways in the South-eastern division of the colony. There may be seen, where one pig was seen trucked a decade ago, a hundred.now being loaded for despatch to one or other of the large bacon-curing factories. The illustration of Teviotville station on this page shows a string of eighty German waggons, each laden with pigs, waiting their turn to discharge their living loads into the trucks. The total number of pigs in the eighty waggons was 250, all ‘bound for Messrs. J. E. Hut ton and Co.’s Zillmere factory, there to be turned into hams, bacon, sausages, and other “hog products.”

TRAINS COLLIDE AT ROMA STREET
Engine Derailed
Driver and Friemen Suspended
With a crash that could be heard for hundreds of yards, a goods train and an empty passenger train came into collision at the Southern end of the Roma Street goods yards early yesterday morning. The engine of the passenger train was badly derailed, its front portion being extensively damaged, and several waggons on the goods train received slight damage. No one was injured.
The collision occurred about 7.30am, the trains involved being the 41 down, a goods train from Toowoomba, and the 22 up, a passenger train running between Petrie and Central Station.
The Petrie train, after conveying its passengers to Central, was passing through Roma Street, en route to the Mayne Junction sheds, just as a goods train swung into the Roma Street yards, and was proceeding along another loop
