Original 1947 AP Wirephoto showing a Pennsylvania Railroad freight locomotive after derailing at Frankford Junction in Philadelphia on September 24. The dramatic image shows steam pouring from locomotive No. 31 as it rests sharply tilted off the tracks, with another engine and railroad workers visible behind it. According to the original caption, the engineer and fireman escaped injury. The caption is separate from the photograph and held to the bottom edge by one piece of vintage tape. Photograph measures approximately 6¼ x 5¼ inches. Shows expected age, toning, edge wear and newsroom/archive handling. A strong Philadelphia railroad wreck image. This photo came from the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper.
