Bill Newkirk has sent me a photo of the 1936 Ninth Street IND wreck to host and post.



If you look at the position of the units, you can see that R-1 #212 has been almost completely telescoped by R-4 #472, which is buried underneath it. The carbody of #212 has been ploughed into the tunnel ceiling. The force was great enough to fracture #472's bulkhead downward and destroy the front end of the following car - R-1 #378.

The source is uncredited, but the photo is property of Bill Newkirk.
