Original 1947 AP Wirephoto showing the violent aftermath of a collision between two passenger trains at Dugald, Manitoba, on September 2. The force of the impact is evident in this close view of crushed and twisted rail equipment, including a baggage car at left and the engine tender of the standing Continental Express. The original caption is separate from the photograph, with both mounted on the same piece of black archival paper. Measures approximately 8¼ x 7⅝ inches overall. Visible vintage tape, age, toning, edge wear and expected newsroom/archive handling are present. A strong Canadian railroad disaster image with dramatic wreckage and substantial collector appeal. This photo came from the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper.
