The print showcases two locomotives and their tender entangled amidst the wreckage, providing a glimpse into this tragic event from the late 19th century. The historical significance of this image lies not only in its portrayal of an unfortunate incident but also in its representation of transportation during that era. Steam-powered trains were at the forefront of industrial progress, revolutionizing travel and trade across nations. However, accidents like these served as stark reminders of the risks involved in early rail transport. Preserved within a private collection, this engraving offers us a window into history through Santiago Ortega's skilled craftsmanship.
