This one's in our (Ed and I) hometown of Hamilton, Ontario, and is on the same street where the accident occurred.
The accident was a couple of blocks south of wall mural, and only block-or-so from where I lived as a child. While I didn't see it occur, I not only saw the wreck, but am in a photo, with my mother and younger brother, of the crowd which had gathered.
The locomotive, a Mogul, was repaired and put back in service. I have re-worked this brass model to better represent the real one...
...but will need to build a new body shell for the tender, as it's incorrect for the re-built prototype
