Another eBay discovery. I didn’t hold much hope for this set of photos from the eBay listing. Faded and dull. Upon close inspection, however appears to be a heat kink AND a resulting whiplash derailment. I ran these past a friend who works on the NS and he thought as I did that this was an unusually bad kink for jointed rail… The photo was dated by the developer in 1978. I’m putting it in August. Anyone want to hazard a guess as to date & location? /DL
