Photograph for documentation of an accident involving the conductor of the train and wiring above the cars, taken on April 18, 1947

This photograph was taken to document a train accident on an industrial siding in Dayville, Connecticut.  Apparently the man standing on top of the freight car was there to show how the conductor of the train was injured when he came into contact with wiring.  Someone amusingly wrote “Tony-the-hobo going South after being caught — watch out for the wires!!” on the print.

This print was recently donated by donor Edward J. Ozog.
