Original 1947 AP Wirephoto showing the wreckage of a Pennsylvania Railroad freight train derailment at Mill Hall near Lock Haven, Pennsylvania. According to the printed caption, 26 coal cars derailed, creating a massive pile of overturned and crushed cars while workmen cleared the wreckage. Despite the scale of the accident, no injuries were reported. Caption is printed directly on the photograph. Measures approximately 8¾ x 6¼ inches. Note the tape remaining on the corners, along with typical age, handling wear and newsroom/archive use as pictured. This came from the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper. Strong Pennsylvania railroad, coal industry and transportation disaster subject matter.
