Train wrecks were common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when freight was commonly transported on the Main Line. This photograph is one of a series documenting a spectacular wreck at Radnor Station in the 1920s. Shown are hopper cars and their cargo spilling over the bridge at King of Prussia Road. A crane, at left, is beginning to remove the wreckage.
