I scanned and uploaded an interesting wreck photo from Graham McBride. It shows DAR locomotive 385 in a serious derailment with a Canadian National Express car. No date or location: http://www.dardpi.ca/wiki/index.php?tit ... eck385.jpg
Seems like an odd pairing. Anyone know of this wreck? Also has a neat view of an early DAR wrecking crane.

Re: Interesting mystery wreck photo
Considering the No. 385 photos from 1932 look pretty healthy, the fact she was scrapped in 1933 leads one to think it was probably scrapped after the wreck. So there is a possible timeline there. An being that she has a CN mail car in tow it's just as likely that she was on a Midlands run where many a wreck has occurred over the years.
Thoughts?
