Bill, That's interesting. I can add that the Naperville Sun published
an article with photos to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the wreck.
I have a copy in my 'archives'. .....somewhere?!? :-) - Don Z.

The Naperville Sun had quite a collection of pictures of the aftermath
of the accident. If I recall right, Harold White, who was the editor and
publisher of the Sun, had just purchased a new camera and was quickly on
the scene taking pictures. When I worked on the Naperville Central High
School newspaper in the early-mid 70s, Mr. White was kind enough to
allow us to reprint several of his pictures in a series one of our
reporters wrote about Naperville history (at the time, the population
was highly transient with most people living in Naperville for 2 years
before moving on - so this was a way to connect students to historic
Naperville events). The Sun I believe published a retrospective not long
after. I've never seen these pictures anywhere else as Mr. White had
used a white ink pen to write copyright Naperville Sun on the images.
Even though the Sun has been owned by Sun-Times group since the 90s, I
would think they would still have these images in their files. If I was
writing an in-depth article or book about this event, I would definitely
seek these photographs out.
