From atop a boxcar, the camera looks down towards rescuers working to remove a car wedged between 2 train cars. The roof of one of the trains stretches along the left edge. The side of another train car stretches back along the right edge. Below and between them, several workers climb over a mangled vehicle that is wedged between the 2 train cars. One man operates uses a saw to cut through the vehicle's metal framing. Spectators and police officers stand behind them. Stretchers lie on the ground in the upper left corner.
