(no. 734), Christmas Train Wreck," Tuesday, December 25, 1906. It shows the engines and a few cars of two freight trains that collided head-on. The canal is shown in the foreground.  Freight cars marked New York Central and the Big Four are shown. Three men, Fletcher Morris, Hite Beesley and Bert Day were killed. James McEntee, the engineer of one of the locomotives was injured.   

(no. 768), Is thought to be the "Circus Train Wreck," which occurred August 16, 1905. This was also a head on collision which occurred at about the same place as the one described above. Eugene Bock wrote: This should give a graphic portrayal of the reason why engine crews were trained to "jump". The tender is jammed into the end of the boiler and part of the cab is draped over the steam dome. The tender's tank has separated from the underframe and the two trucks have been crammed together.

    Note the large crowd that had gathered in each case. Steam is still coming from the wrecked engines. Many appear to be dressed for some special occasion, perhaps they were businessmen on their way to work or in the case of the Christmas Day, perhaps they were dressed for the holiday.
