Original 1947 AP Wirephoto from Chicago showing 32-year-old George Soitz displaying a small cut on his finger after surviving a violent railroad crossing collision. At right is the demolished wreckage of his automobile after it was struck by a train caboose. According to the original caption, the minor finger cut was his only apparent injury despite the severe destruction of the car. Caption is printed directly on the photograph. Measures approximately 9 x 6⅜ inches. Note the tape remaining on the corners and typical age, handling wear and newsroom/archive use as pictured. This came from the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper. An unusually dramatic crash-survival image pairing the survivor with the mangled vehicle.
