The record ties this glass negative to a train wreck at Bar Harbor, Maine, with a car named "Chrisholm" in the title. That name comes from unverified Bain News Service caption data and may be misspelled. The date given is 9/2/13, which places the scene in 1913, when the Bain agency supplied newspapers with news pictures from across the country. Railroad accidents like this drew crowds and photographers, and wrecked cars often document the rolling stock and the hazards of rail travel in that era.
