Description: Train Wreck On Erie Railroad, Passaic New Jersey 1913 Original Photograph. Measures 8" x 10". Great RARE photo! Not another one like this anywhere on Internet. I located the following article from The Cornell Daily Sun, dated May 14, 1913. This most likely relates to the train wreck in this photo. THREE ATTEMPTS MADE TO WRECK ERIE R. R. TRAINSAuthorities, However, Cannot Connect Wreckers With Industrial Strikers. By The Associated Press. PATERSON, N. J., May 13.— A city detective rode on the locomotive of every Erie railroad train that entered and left Paterson tonight, in an effort to avert railroad wrecks after three attempts within 72 hours to derail trains. The third endeavor was locked today by trainmen when two men tried to uncouple the cars of a rain that was drawing into the station. The pair escaped. An attempt to enter a magazine where 20,000 sticks of dynamite were stored was made today by persons unknown to the authorities. Entrance ;o the building was forced by picks, but concrete walls barred the way to the explosives. The police have found no evidence connecting the attempted train wrecking and the attempt to steal the dynamite with the strike situation in Northern New Jersey. Thousands of silk mill operatives and railroad and contract laborers are out in four counties. The silk strikers are organized with the Industrial Workers of the World or the American Federation of Labor and the railroad and contract workers with the Laborers' International Union.
