Description

Black and white photograph showing a train wreck of a Canadian Pacific train somewhere south of Sudbury ON circa 1920. The photo shows that the engine had completely disconnected from its wheels and was flipped upside-down and now was lying in front of the wheels. The locomotive's tender is also visible and has clearly been derailed. There are three men visible in the photograph, two are standing next to each other beside what was the locomotive and they appear to be talking. One man is dressed in what appears to be an engineer uniform, the other is in a suit with a long jacket and bowler hat. The other man is standing beside the tender and is also in a suit with a long jacket and bowler hat. Distinguishing Features: none
