1920 Rural Retreat Wreck Photos

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

For those who haven't seen them already, some very good pictures of the 1920
wreck at Rural Retreat have been posted on the fallen flags web site.

The link to the wreck photos are near the bottom of the page. One of the six
links is http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/nw/nw-rrwrk-ech.jpg.

One of the links lists the incident as being reported in ICC report 731. How
does one get a copy of this report? I'm curious as to the details of the
wreck such as how fast was the closing speed of the two trains and what was
reported as the cause. This view of the crowd out to watch the clean up is
interesting as it appears that people dressed up for the event.
