In the top photo, BPd combine #1155 rests next to Class E2a No. 578 in disappointing condition. The middle photo is of an original Illinois Terminal trolley in much better shape. At bottom is an original heavyweight Pennsylvania observation car. (Jarrell Greever photos) |

| The Day 1212 Battled a '38 Nash - Thomas D. Dressler |
| |
Photo |
Class A No. 1212 rests next to its sparring partner on June 11, 1953. Class 22-C tender, No. 220099, a "dogleg" rebuild, and auxiliary water tender No. 160217 also derailed, but remained coupled. This provides a rare opportunity to study the top of an auxiliary tender as well as the rear deck area of the 22,000 gallon main tank. The Nash 4-door sedan, the impression of the A's pilot clearly evident, would never run again. Luckily, the "happy" occupants were not in the car when it was struck by the huge locomotive (N&W photo/Thomas D. Dressler collection) |

The accident happened at the west switch at Teays Junction, 1 mile east of Piketon, Ohio. By the time this photo was taken, the headlamp has already been removed to prevent damage when the wreck crews place the large lift sling under the smokebox and right the huge engine.
