Damage after Runaway Boxcar Collision
Title:  Damage after Runaway Boxcar Collision
Description:  At first glance, SOU #4909 doesn't appear too damaged after runaway Southern boxcar #306153 rammed into it but look closer at the pilot coupler. That was the impact point. Albeit, the locomotive was an immovable force being hit by a bantam weight! The original photographer name appears to have been marked out and James Crowton stamp was placed next to it.
