This picture was recently posted on Facebook. Apparently taken by a "tourist" who came to check out the wreck. It shows the scene looking down the L&N line which ran under the Southern mainline. You can see the derrick picking up cars and the L&N RPO/Baggage car.
Train Second 47, second engine Southern 2801 on fire. Another picture found by Jeff Murphree
Another photo thanks to Jeff Murphree. This shows the rescue efforts. A close look will reveal that the rescuers are trying to get one or two people out of the mangeled wreckage. There is a big difference in how this is done today.
Photo which was shown in the Birmingham News. See photo for full description. Thanks to Jeff Murphree and the Heart of Dixie RR club for this photo.
Thanks to Jeff Murphree. Another photo showing two A&WP cars with fire between them and L&N car nearly destroyed. Unbelieveable how a laddar was put up under the L&N car to get to the passengers. Do you see the crosstie proped up next to the laddar to keep the car from rollng over ?
This is a picture that was shared with me from Alan Dismukes. It is from Acme Telephoto company, a news photo service. Shows a slightly different view of the wreck. It shows a Pennsylvania RR sleeper on the right.
