Groseclose Wreck in Early 1920s

[NW Mailing List]

I no longer have the picture of the wreck in my email files, but from 
what I think I remember of the picture the locomotive in the foreground 
has an air pump mounted over what appears to be a high-pressure 
cylinder.  Close inspection of the rather indistinct near portion of the 
wreck seems to show a larger low-pressure cylinder.  So, maybe this is 
the 1918 wreck of Z1a 1461.
