Description

Lead diesel unit of Burlington Railroad's Nebraska Zephyr came to rest in plowed field after hitting a loaded rock truck at a County Road G crossing southeast of Council Bluffs Saturday afternoon. The engine jackknifed into the field and was headed toward the train when it stopped. Front trucks were knocked from under the engine and the cab was extensively damaged. Two crewmen were injured. The second diesel was demolished and lies on its side behind the lead unit. Other baggage cars are shown off the track. Passenger units that remained on the rails are shown in the background.
