This is a photo of a Santa
Fe train wreck in Azusa,
CA, probably in the teens. Engine 1274 (Class 1270, 4-6-2) is
upside down. Does anyone have any additional information about this wreck?

March 24, 1922 the  Phoenix Flyer hits a

steam roller in Azusa. The engineer and fireman were both killed. No passengers were killed, which was amazing considering the damage. The dead engineer's daughter was Winefred Brison. Her husband was Oscar wining actor Warner Baxter.
