Shore Line Electric Railway
5 has rolled over in what
probably started as a simple derailment. Location and date are unknown,
but the sign on the front of the car reads "DEEP RIVER / IVORYTON / ESSEX".
It looks as though the motorman might have been impaled on the non-safety-glass
windshield, a constant hazard in those days!
