Antique Cabinet Card Minneapolis To St Louis Train Wreck Crash Cab 49 Locomotive

This rare antique cabinet card captures the grim aftermath of a dramatic train wreck involving Cab 49. The locomotive lies partially derailed, showing the twisted iron and heavy structural damage typical of a high-speed crash on the line between Minneapolis and St. Louis.

The photograph serves as a haunting historical record of late 19th-century rail travel hazards. Collectors of transportation history will value the stark, gritty detail of the wreckage and the technical study of the damaged locomotive engine.

A singular piece of rail history documenting the Minneapolis to St. Louis train wreck.
