C & O 1580 wreck Toledo
Posted by train18393 on Thursday, June 9, 2016 3:05 AM

I am puting togeather a photo album of my late fathers railroad pictures. I have a photo series of C & O 1580, (an H7a 2-8-8-2 I believe) which was involved in a wreck on the way from Walbridge to Lakefront Docks in Toledo Ohio. I remember him talking about but I would like more details especially the date. The only caption on the photos is York Street. Thank you to anyone who may be able to fill me in on any details. He may very well have been a crew member on this train as he worked frequently on the puller that this job probably was.

With the right search term there might be a findable story in the Toledo Blade.
