  "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.

  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.

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