Real Photo O. & W. R.R. Train Wreck At Mountain Dale Sullivan NY RP RPPC L339

Description: Here is a nice old RPPC Real Photo Post Card for your collection! This card comes from a 40 year collection of fine postcards including RP's. Hold To Lights, Halloween postcards, Expositions, better Santa's and much more! Check out the others in my eBay store and stop back often for new listings! This postcard shows a rare disaster view from Upstate NY. Lots of wreckage in view along with some men standing on the tracks. A steam Crane of the tracks lifts up the remains. The card front is printed and documents the event as O.W. R.R. Wreck Mt. Dale NY, Photo By B. Davis (note the backwards s in Davis). The card side is handwritten and reads This is about 1 1/2 miles from Mtn Station. I'm told this is known as the Red Hill Grade and the wreck occurred during double tracking construction through the mountains. A large rock dislodged and landed on the rails and the flagger had not gone far enough up the rails in time to stop the train. The card back is divided and is not postmarked. Condition is good to very good as shown. Guaranteed vintage and original. The watermark is not on the postcard you are buying here. All of our cards are shipped safely inside a rigid postcard mailer.
