Here is page 70 of a 96-page monograph entitled "Power To Burn: Smoke, Steam, & Cinders" that was edited by James M. Shafer and published during 1976. Photo Caption: "On Nov. 30, 1925, an eastbound freight train 'lost its air' descending the East Slope and ran away, finally derailing and striking the old 17th Street Bridge, moving it 32 inches off its foundation. F.C. Scheline and H.F. Taubler were killed in the wreck. The bridge had to be rebuilt before it could be used for traffic again." |
