OH NO MISTER BILL
May 27/1953 is a day railroaders in Leetown would like to forget.After returning from a routine trip to Port Maitland,double-header E-10-A Mogul #91 and S-1-G Mike #3513 were involved in Leetown's infamous and unforgettable incident.While returning to the Mary St. roundhouse a tender truck of #91 split a switch point---the end result of the jack-knife was the lead engine lying on her side.Fortunately no-one was injured and damage was minimal.Railfanners,including Barney Secord, hurried to Leetown to view the scene---here's a few photos
