Its title, Train accident on "L" Road, comes from unverified caption data written by the Bain News Service, so the exact line and location remain uncertain. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, a body of news photographs from a New York agency that sold images of current events to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Accident photographs were a staple of that work, since editors wanted pictures of wrecks while they were still news. The 8-by-10-inch glass negative reflects the large-format plates that press photographers relied on before smaller film became common.
