    Here is a story about a B&O wreck at Terra Cotta station in Washington, but the date was 12/31/06; why would it be mixed in with photos from 1912? query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9803E2DC1331E7... Here is a map of where the Terra Cotta station was (not sure if that is what we are looking at or not); looks like its not far from the Naval Observatory. www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=38.9508333333&lon=-77.00...

    They don't seem to match up: the accident reported in the article happened in December and the photo appears to have been taken in the summer.

    Good point!

British Library digitised image from page 273 of "The Writings in Prose and Verse of Rudyard Kipling. ('Outward Bound' edition.) [With plates, including portraits.]"

    Terracotta bas-relief by John Lockwood Kipling illustrating the story "Red Dog". There's a bigger, greyscaled and contrast-adjusted version here. When Mowgli's wolf pack is threatened by dhole (the red dogs of the title) he tricks the dhole-pack into chasing him off the edge of a river gorge lined with beehives. Mowgli has smeared his body with garlic so the bees will not attack him, but the dhole are not so lucky. Those that survive face drowning in the fast-flowing river or being killed by Mowgli. This thins the dhole's numbers just enough to be decisive in their final battle against Mowgli and the wolves.

    I don't have the right angles on this but we have a building in Richmond, Virginia, USA that has some really similar brick work.

    That brickwork is lovely, Tom.
