IC Mountain 2425, Kentucky, 1955, E. G. Baker Photo


" These slides were shot by E G Baker and are now in my collection. I forget the date of the wreck but it was the southbound Irvin S Cobb that derailed when some kids put a board on the track. The engine wiped out an outhouse but nobody was in it at the time. I think the accident was at Vine Grove, KY. See the sequence in our video "Mid-American Glory ICRR" which shows the engine being lifted out of the ditch plus the freight easing past. The movie was also shot by E G Baker."
