Original 1947 AP Wirephoto showing a massive Colorado & Southern freight train derailment near Boulder, Colorado. According to the original caption, 14 freight cars were derailed, creating a tangled pile of overturned and crushed rail cars. No one was injured, but the wreck disrupted rail traffic between Denver and Cheyenne, Wyoming, for several hours. The separate original caption and photograph are both mounted on the same piece of black archival paper. Overall size measures approximately 8⅝ x 7¼ inches. Shows tape, age, handling wear and typical newsroom/archive use as pictured. This came from the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper. Strong railroad disaster image with extensive visible wreckage.
