Wreck at Wellington
Photographer unknown
A short time before a view posted previously, a New York Central big hook goes to work clearing the motive power (out of view) of the wrecked Southwestern Limited at Wellington, OH. Front and center is Baggage-Coach 281, which took the brunt of the impact with Coach 2939. The Coach took shockingly little damage, but 281 was a complete loss as a result. Note the general mess and destruction at the crossing, with wires, poles and the remains of the crossing tower tossed about to the left.
