Re: [CBQ] Downers Grove 1947 train wreck photos

["qutlx1@aol.com [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

The BRHS has that shot and many more in a pending article for the Bulletin entitled "For want of a nail". The photos were submitted by Hol Wagner and cover in graphic detail the scenes, aftermath and the flat car on the Eola Rip track afterward.

I'll leave it to Hol and Dave if they want to share the photo prior to publication of the article.

I am trying to find a photo on Flickr taken during the clean up of the 1947 train wreck at Main St in Downers Grove showing a freight detouring down a side track behind the depot. I am having no success in finding it, does anyone have a link?

Thank you kindly,
