The overall view of the needless death and destruction at Rural Retreat, Virginia October 20, 1920 belies the fact that the trackage in this area was located on a 900 foot long, 2 degree left hand curve. The small hill which prevented clear vision can be seen between the engine and tender to the right. By studying the damage to the cars behind the tender, the advantages of all-steel construction becomes evident. (R. H. Snider photo) |
