Original 1947 AP Wirephoto showing the aftermath of a deadly New York Central Railroad train wreck near Shiloh, Ohio. According to the original caption, at least three people died when the lead locomotive of a Cleveland-St. Louis double-header jumped the track and buried itself in the earth nearly to its cab. The dramatic image shows the crushed locomotive deep in the embankment as railroad workers and onlookers crowd around the wreckage. The separate original caption is mounted below the photograph on the same piece of black archival paper. Overall size measures approximately 8⅜ x 8¼ inches. Shows tape, age, handling wear and typical newsroom/archive use as pictured. This came from the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper.
