Set of original vintage black-and-white photos (each approx. 3.25" x 3.25") -- 1 is a duplicate -- showing the aftermath of a dramatic freight train derailment, likely from the 1950s or early 1960s. The images prominently feature an overturned autorack car designed to transport automobiles, with multiple sets of detached wheel trucks, scattered debris, and overturned freight cars. A crowd of bystanders and cold-weather clothing suggest the wreck occurred in a small town during fall or winter.
These are original photographic prints, not reproductions. No markings on back. Excellent documentary value for railroad history enthusiasts or collectors of mid-century industrial disaster photography.
