Hi, I'm an admin for a group called New York Central Railroad, and we'd love to have your photo -and membership- added to the group.

For other photos of relevant coaches of the 20th Century Limited, in the Clerestory Group click here..... , though sadly some more are also of accidents. For some history click here...., and Wikipedia article . .

Apologies for the late thanks, ranbarton, for the link to the Times article about the crash. We'll add a few more details to this record the next time we update.

Glad to be of help.

The wreck occurred March 13, 1912.

This is an incredible capture. Thank you.

I road the 20th Century Limited on its last voyage ever. It was from New York City to Chicago on January 2, 1967 on that very railroad bed pictured along the senic Hudson River. I was reporting for active duty in the Navy. The dining car was everything elegant you see the in the movies. I felt so out of place, a kid in a sailor suit, among very elegantly dressed people.
