1896234211896. TransportationIndustrial Disasters Atlantic City railroad disaster photo archive likely documenting the July 30 1896 collision west of Atlantic City New Jersey one of the deadliest American railroad accidents of the 1890s. The wreck occurred when a West Jersey Railroad excursion train carrying members of the Improved Order of Red Men fraternal organization from Bridgeton and Salem crossed the Reading Railroad line and was struck by a Philadelphia express crushing loaded passenger coaches and leaving dozens dead and injured. The local Atlantic City photographer's stamp the beach and pier crowd the open rail junction the smashed wooden coachwork and the dense public gathering around the debris all support identification with the Atlantic City disaster rather than a more inland wreck. <br /> <br /> Photo archive of 4 albumen photographs each approx 7.5 x 8 inches mounted on boards measuring approximately 10 x 12 inches Atlantic City New Jersey likely 1896. At the wreck site men in suits caps work clothes and shirt sleeves stand among splintered timbers exposed wheel assemblies broken coach framing twisted metal and scattered railroad debris. A damaged passenger car remains partly upright with its roof torn open and side panels crushed while another wreck scene includes telegraph poles parallel tracks a railroad signal and a wide crowd gathered across the right of way. Workers and onlookers climb over the wreckage stand on overturned components and cluster around the remains of the coaches giving the scenes the character of both recovery work and public witnessing. The fourth view shows the community Atlantic City's shore economy with men women and children gathered along the beach and crowded across a pier many in formal summer dress hats and parasols. Verso stamp reads: "W. Crompton & Co. 132 N. South Carolina Ave. Atlantic City N.J. Duplicates can be furnished at Short Notice."<br /> <br /> By the 1890s Atlantic City had become a major East Coast resort town and railroad access was central to its growth; the same excursion system that filled its beaches also concentrated large numbers of passengers in wooden cars vulnerable to catastrophic collision. The presence of a local commercial photographer's stamp is significant indicating that these disaster scenes circulated as purchasable local views for an audience already accustomed to buying Atlantic City souvenirs. Mounts toned and soiled prints faded with some loss of contrast scattered surface wear and staining to mounts one with slight loss at upper right corner; overall in good condition. The archive preserves the immediate aftermath wreckage and response to a major Atlantic City disaster in the late 19th century. unknown
