Train 24 And The Iona Island Wreck

From Your Editor, Ron Vassallo:
Some of our older Members may remember this gem of an article from the old website but I had to rescue this and re-create it as a .pdf for this site to share again. If you have never seen this article you are in for a real treat.

I don’t know why the Society has never done an Observer on wrecks but it is sorely needed. While some deem it a taboo subject it was part of railroading life that needs to be recorded. This article does just that.

Hats off to Dan for this great effort as well as Steve Swirsky for contributing never-before-seen stunning wreck photos and last but not least Doug Barberio for donating the fascinating 10-page ICC Report.
