Vintage track vehicles

Ouchie!

 

Are those all AMC? If so what would that pickup be?

 

A Jeep J-10 or 20

 

J-10. Only five lugs.

 

thats funny, just picked up a 74 hornet

 

Ooh, if it isn't original, it would be a perfect Jeep 4.0 transplant candidate. If it is original, all the cooler. 2-door, 4-door or wagon?

 

its a two door sedan 6 cyl. im plan on putting a 392 hemi in it lol

 

Talk about a train wreck? This photo will have you scratching your head and wondering how this could have ever happened!

This peculiar wreck happened on the Northern Division of the N.Y., N.H. & H. Railroad near Worcester, Mass. On February 2, 1898.

Sources say Engine 823, a 50-ton freight locomotive, was pushing a snowplow at a high rate of speed when it collided with Engine 684, an eight-wheel locomotive of lighter weight, which was also running at a high speed, and pulling a milk train. Five men who were in the snowplow jumped into a bank of snow and were uninjured. Another strange feature of this peculiar wreck is that just previous to the collision the men in the snowplow discovered that the knob was off the door, and they were locked in. They finally contrived to open the door, and on looking out saw the milk train coming. The snowplow was demolished.

Do you wonder how this could have happened? Sources say the wreck was caused by a telegraph operator going to sleep and allowing the snowplow to pass his station when he had orders to hold it.
