Train Photography

[John Kenealy]

While going through some photos with my wife's family, I found this shot taken by her grandfather, Samuel Martucci. It's of the famous Lake Shore Limited Gulf Curve wreck in Little Falls, N.Y., taken on April 20, 1940. It's very similar to the photo usually seen from the scene, except that the people have moved, and there is a train in the background that doesn't appear in the more publicized photo. He was a Utica Police Officer and I assume might have had better access to the scene to grab this shot.
