Groseclose Wreck in Early 1920s

If you tell me the date could have Oct. 20, 1920 and it was a head end 
collision and the railroad location was Rural Retreat I may have the 
answer.

There was a Head-end collision passenger trains (17?)  with # 558 and 14 
with # 102 near Rural Retreat.  You will note there was another head end 
wreck near this location in 1918 with the 102 and a big one, Z1a 1461.

Both the 558 and 102 were rebuilt.
