EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a fateful day in Bangor, Maine, on August 9th, 1871. The scene depicts the aftermath of a devastating railroad accident that occurred as a passenger train from the Maine Central Railroad attempted to enter the city. As it crossed over a bridge, tragedy struck and the bridge gave way under the weight of the locomotive. The wood engraving captures the chaos and destruction that ensued after this catastrophic event. The crowd gathers around, their faces filled with shock and concern for those involved in this horrifying incident. Spectators can be seen peering through broken wooden beams at what remains of the train below. In this late 19th-century American street scene, one cannot help but notice how transportation was drastically interrupted by this collision. A horse-drawn carriage stands idle nearby as its passengers likely watch in disbelief at the wreckage before them. This powerful image serves as a reminder of both human vulnerability and resilience in times of trouble. It also highlights how accidents like these could have far-reaching consequences for communities dependent on railroads for trade and travel. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from The Granger Collection's archives, let us reflect on how far we have come in terms of safety measures within our modern transportation systems while honoring those who lost their lives or were affected by such tragedies throughout history.
