Bad Day At The Bridge

Here are a couple shots of a wreck scene taken in the early days of the Sumpter Valley Ry. I am not sure what the play by play was, but they sure tore up the end of a Howe Truss bridge. There were three Howe Truss bridges on the Sumpter Valley in the early days. One at about MP5, one at MP12 and one at MP 15. This is probably either at MP5 or MP 12. The scans are from the SVRR Archive.
