Hi All,
I have just uploaded seven images of the wreck and the diagram that Robert
describes below to my Yahoo Photo Album. There are both CB&Q and Great
Northern cars that can be identified. Each photo's location is shown on the
diagram of the wreck.
Any ideas of when or where it happened? I'm planning on using these in the
Zephyr Q&A.

Dear BRHS:
I wonder if one of your members might be able to help us. We have just
discovered (not in the CB&Q archives, but in another collection of personal
papers) seven photographs of a train wreck somewhere on the CB&Q. I attach
scans of the 7 photos, plus a sketch map from the back of photo no. 1. The
map is very detailed, showing the location of each car in relation to a
bridge and a river, but with no indication of where in the Burlington world
this might have happened.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
Bob Karrow
