The Big Hook in Action         
From the back of the print.... – This wreck occured at Wiscasset about 1927. Engine 385 tender jumped (the) iron on curve, nobody ... was on pall (?) job #55 – My impression is that this scene it taken just west of town. Can anyone expand on my thoughts?? MEC#385 was a Class O Lima serno #6484 built May 1932 & sold March 1951. Cyl 20x28, 63inch drivers. /DL
