Note upper left side corner "PRR FEDERAL WRECK".

This volume contains a 30-page spread completely covering the January 15, 1953 wreck at the D.C. Union Station.  Remember this was just days before IKE's first inauguration.

Many pictures  and text covering the wreck, removal, temporary station repairs, the many pieces that motor #4876 was cut into, the investigations,  the findings, picture of recently repaired and restored GG1 in red/five-stripe dress,  and picture of 4876 after 1959 in single-stripe green dress.

Did you know that the first three cars of the consist pulled into the building with GG! 4876 were New Haven?  And that a total of nine of the sixteen car consist were in-fact NH.

A must read for any GG1 enthusiast.  Or obviously wanting to know about the wreck.
