I think we're all agreed now that the scene of the derailment is indeed Thayer,
Iowa. Attached, with the seller's permission, are the best images I can
produce from the eBay scans -- in case someone is interested in bidding on the
four of them.

Charlie - From the tender, could be a R Class engine. I fully agree, it's
Thayer, Iowa.

and all-
The
third of the Thayer wreck postcards with the steam crane lifting carcasses
into a gondola confirms it was Thayer, IA….the locomotive in the photo
(haven’t tried to determine the number or class) is most definitely a Q
engine. Unless the Q came in on another railroad to clean up its
cars in the wreck (highly unlikely) it is Thayer IA on the
CB&Q.
