1920 Rural Retreat Wreck Photos

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Having lived along the ACL route of the Cannonball between Dunlop and the 
Petersburg station during the 1950's, I recall the N&W engines on the train 
were usually the 122 or 123. N&W 121 usually handled the Short Train, and 
occasionally you would see the 120 or E2b, 562 on the train.
