    "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.
  • ranbarton said:
    NYC is not New York City in this case; it's the railroad New York Central.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called New York Central Railroad, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    When adding this photo to the Clerestory Coaches (Railways) group, please kindly geotag where possible to identify the location for the benefit of many of the world wide members! Many thanks

A.H. Smith (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

    I started an entry in Wikipedia: Alfred Holland Smith (1863-1924) was president of the New York Central Railroad. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Holland_Smith
  • Wystan said:
    Smith was in the news (per Bain) on July 30, 1913, when he was still Senior Vice President of the NYCRR. He did not become president until December 31 of that year. In 1913, Smith was appointed a member of the railroad arbitration board, designed to head off strikes. Other members of the board, including Seth Low, appear in several Bain photos posted earlier on the LOC photostream.
