While trying to find something else I came across this website.  These are fascinating pictures.

....Great photos.  The only thing I might add, is on the pic with the dump truck and bus visible at ground level.  I believe the dump truck is a 1946 Chevrolet.  Another thought....it looks like they have constructed a shoofly track around the wreck.
