My first attempt at composition using the MoY 1920 Mack AC Water Tower Truck as part of the subject. The B&W background will be seen again in future posts.

Well done Paul. I remember that famous crash scene. Mack to the rescue!

I'm not that old. The image was taken on Oct.22, 1895 at Gare Montparnasse Station in Paris. The Grenville to Paris Express failed to stop and ran through the buffers, killing a woman newspaper vendor. I imagine something similar to that Mack would be used to clear the wreck. I like your picture, Paul.

Very creative. Good composition turns a good photo into a great photo. Well done.

Your efforts are magnificent - it looks just like the one in the Photo.

Rumor had it that the engineer got fired, went rogue and joined the Hole In The Wall Gang.
