Offered here is a rare and dramatic lot of six original 4" x 5" black-and-white photographs showing the aftermath of a major mid-20th century train derailment, likely from the 1940s or early 1950s. The images feature a wreck involving Pennsylvania Railroad and GATX rolling stock, including derailed tankers, boxcars, and wrecking cranes. Snow on the ground and period utility poles suggest a cold-weather Northern U.S. scene. One image includes a worker examining wreckage. These appear to be unpublished and likely taken by a railroad worker or railfan on the scene. Crisp details make these valuable for historical research or collectors of railroad ephemera.
Photos are in very good vintage condition with only minor edge wear.
Size: 4 x 5 inches each
