    "The accident to the New York Central's Twentieth Century Limited at Hyde Park on March 13, 1912, was due to an irregularity in super-elevation of the outer rail, or what is more commonly known as a low spot in the track, and not to a broken rail, as was generally supposed, according to the finding of the Public Service Commission of the Second District, after a most thorough investigation. [ END OF FIRST PARAGRAPH ]"

    Photos of this wreck shouldn't be tagged "NYC", if they're of the March 13, 1912 crash -- that happened outside of the city, in Hyde Park.

    NYC is not New York City in this case; it's the railroad New York Central.

    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 . .
