DescriptionA black and white photograph taken by William A. Gibson of the wreckage left behind from the collapse of the Santa Fe Railroad bridge and the train that was parked on it. The train was placed on the bridge before the flood in the hopes that it would weigh the bridge down and prevent collapse. The bridge still collapsed however, taking the train with it. The pieces of the trains engine can be seen in the picture. In the lower righthand side a person can be seen for scale. Last edited by: Jordyn Roney
