Wreck of the Capitol Limited!....

[wm3798]

I shot these a couple years ago at the B&O Museum in Baltimore. While I was there working on an article, some punks got a hold of the hand brakes on the passenger set, and sent it rolling across the asphalt parking lot.

It ended up rolling into a curb to a stop, but not before destroying the fence, and nearly smashing a subcompact!

This is probably as far as these things had moved in a decade!

Holy smokes, Lee.  That's the first time I have every heard of this, and have certainly never seen the pictures.  It must have been a heart pounder to those working for the facility when they understood what was happening.
