Here is another link

It says Blue Point was east of Benkelman, NE and you are correct, along the Republican River

Group - Here's a mystery for our Lines West experts to try and solve. Following are inserted/attached two images of a long-ago derailment involving an unidentified Class B-1 4-8-2 type locomotive and its passenger train. The only information given is the date May 21, 1923, the train is No. 2 and the location is Blue Point, NE:
 
 
From the two images, we can see that the locomotive is an almost new Lima Locomotive Works Class B-1 4-8-2 type constructed in 1922. It has an extended smoke box for burning lignite coal. There is what appears in the background to be a river in flood stage. May be the Republican River? There also appears to be water on both sides of the right-of-way. I would speculate that the train ran into a wash out and jumped-the-tracks at speed from the mangled condition of some of the cars that look to have jack-knifed behind the derailed tender. There may've been at least one or more shattered wood baggage or RPO mail cars on the head-end, in addition to the one steel mail storage/baggage car shown. Lastly, there is an "improved" road and pole line paralleling the tracks.
 
I have searched the ICC Accident Investigation Reports for 1923 and this wreck does not appear. I also searched for the years 1922 and 1924. I do not see the wreck listed. I've been told that ICC Reports do not usually include accidents where no one was killed or badly injured and no rules violated. Perhaps, that was the situation with this wreck, although from the severely torn-up cars, it makes you wonder. Additionally, I can find no community named Blue Point in Nebraska. May be that was the name of the nearest siding. Perhaps, the river and train No. 2 together will point to a clue as to just where this wreck occurred and any details. You'd think that a newspaper article in some Nebraska newspaper would've covered this story. I would like to know what the locomotive's road number was, too. Can anyone better ID these photographs? Best Regards - Louis
