Interesting accident in San Antonio, 1967
Texas Transportation Museum, San Antonio
QUOTE FROM THE SAN ANTONIO LIGHT, Thursday April 6, 1967:
Possibly the latest in locomotive hood ornaments is a new Pontiac GTO. At the Missouri Pacific
yards, Medina and W. Commerce, this mishap occurred when the switch engine came in contact with
an open-type freight car carrying autos. The top-level row of autos had been readied for
unloading when it rolled onto the switch engine. The unloading device, which can be adjusted
to various levels on the freight car, simplified the chore of getting the undamaged auto off
its perch.
