  • Description
  • Workers attach cables from a crane to a train car in the attempt to right it. Two large doors on the side of the car suggest it was used for baggage or freight. On the far left, steel track is missing from a section of railroad ties. Men in overcoats and fedora hats are walking the track. In the background, a railroad bridge for the Pittsburgh and West Virginia Railway crosses more tracks and trains below. Steam from a passing locomotive can be seen in the background.
