The Day D&RGW 1804 Blew Up #3         
Coupled right ahead of 1804 when it exploded was 2-8-2 1207. Note that, aside from an askew headlight, the locomotive part of 1207 was pratically unscathed. The same could not be said for 1207's tender, which was thoroughly crushed by the boiler of 1804, which flew entirely over 1207. Visible at the right is crushed Baggage car 734, along with the rear of the cab of 1804.
