A collection of six (6) stereoviews covering the immediate aftermath of a devastating train accident. N.p., ca. 1895-1905. They are all on original dark gray card mounts, each with modern pencil inventory notes to the verso. One period notation says "12 Post Office S.F.," perhaps indicating this crash occurred around San Francisco; however, no crash involving a train with the number 1421 could be found, providing any avid collector an exciting opportunity for further research.

Very good condition overall. The prints exhibit strong contrast and focus, with minor edge silvering and faint handling wear. Mounts remain rigid, curved, and structurally sound.
