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.

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.
