A PHOTOGRAPHIC STORY OF THE 1889 JOHNSTOWN FLOOD

By Harold H. Strayer and Irving L. London


       

One of the many P.R.R. trains that was caught in the flood waters. This train came to rest in Woodvale — which is shown in the background.

One car of the mail train and the first section of the Day Express was forced off the track and fell on their sides.

A house was piled against one train. A crew of workmen spent one day removing the wreckage. Other engines were destroyed by fire.
