Viewing Album:  CNW Lamoille wreck 1986
 
By:Jim Matuska
Dates:9/13/1986 - 9/13/1986
Album Info:I recall a few details about this wreck which was caused by a careless driver who missed an intersection, flew on to the tracks and into the river. The train #495 (Adams - Winona) came along shortly there after and well, the rest is history. I was able to shoot these photos before the RR Police shut down access to the site. Most notable of the wreck units was the #6910 , one of the two "Falcon" units.
