The scene displays the aftermath of a derailment where several train cars have overturned, creating a chaotic and dramatic landscape.The location of the derailment, Sunol, is situated in Alameda County and is a small rural community known for its scenic landscapes and historic Sunol Water Temple. During the time, the Western Pacific Railroad was a prominent rail service in the region, which connected the California coast with various interior points. The train's identification, "W.P. 179 & 83," indicates its association with the Western Pacific Railroad.Text PresentW.P. 179 & 83 Near Sunol Sept. 22, 1941 Sunol, CA Condition: Good to fair vintage condition.
