Clearing The Main Near Taunton
Photos by Bill Cleveland.
Bill says:
"This was a wreck near Taunton. I was still on track crew called out of St Marie's to help in 1976, full cars of feed. Push 'em over the side they said. Gotta get the main line back in service!!
Here is a photo from the guys that did the speeder trip across the abandoned MILW Western extension from almost the same spot as this derailment. http://newwww.weedroute.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/web-201-250-43.jpg
