RPPC Real photo 1913 trainwreck between Big Eddy and The Dalles Oregon Wasco

Description: RPPC Real photo 1913 trainwreck between Big Eddy and The Dalles Oregon Wasco County. I tried to find information online but never was able to find any. The Oregon Navigation railroad is in the backgound by the cliffs. So this might be an off shoot of the Celilo Canal project and it was a private train Reck (as she wrote on the front) They were German and all the message is in German. So maybe no one died in this. There is a young boy in the group and lots of official etc standing around looking bewildered. The locomotive was pretty crumpled up on its side to the left. You can see the bend in the rail bottom right. You can see the outline of a water stain but when I switched to B&W from sepia it lessens. The origina is Sepia. This might be the only photo of this incident. The sender is Lena Westerman and died in 1928 at age 39. The receiver was her mother Bertha who died 5 years later in 1918. When I am able to look up people who were involved in an item I can't resist. For stamp people it is 4 bar Big Eddy postmark. No X's on originals of course, just want to try to deter electronic image theft. I do combine shipping I have at times been asked, why so much for shipping. I actually do not, and it is reasonable for ground advantage packages. I ship very well as one can see by my feedback. If you want your card tossed in an envelope without tracking then sure, it can be less. I might make a little off shipping that covers shipping supplies. I put in the weight etc and hit a button. Anything that cannot be bent or twisted USPS will charge you a package rate, and it is more in person retail at the post office. If the envelope is rigid & non bendable it gets billed a package rate. I will try to send ASAP but now have it set at 3 business days. I am too old to be rushing every day. But if you need it sooner I will work with you. I want to do what is right for the customer, not Ebay.
