Re: [CBQ] CB&Q R-5 2123 Wreck

Pete, don't forget the straw dress hat! Probably, it is a Stetson "Ten Dollar Special" (the felt ones were "Twenty Dollar Specials"). Only officials could afford them! I kept some of my Grandpa's hats. "Company Men", at the coal  mines, were just like officials, on the railroads! Unless otherwise called for, they were suit and tie guys. If they had a "dirty job", the "uniform of the day" was a khaki work uniform. My first job was as a surveyor and my Grandmother told me to go buy five sets of khakis, before I started!

Came across these old photos from the Dixon County Nebraska History Page on Facebook.  The owner of the photos did not know the exact location or the dates.  Obviously the photos must have been taken somewhere along the O'Neill line in Nebraska.  From the information she provided they possibly came from somewhere between Dixon Nebraska and Randolph Nebraska.  Is there any information available regarding this wreck?
