From atop a boxcar, the camera looks down towards rescuers working to remove a car wedged between 2 train cars. At center, rescuers and officers gather in the gap between 2 railroad cars. An engine car sits at right and a boxcar sits at left. Beyond the rescuers and railroad cars, spectators and rescue vehicles gather along the railroad tracks. At right, a culvert runs parallel to the tracks and a crossing is visible in the distance.
