Title:

A Sunken Car

Date:: 1935 - 1942
Description:: A group of men, women and children have gathered near this rural train station to watch the excavation of an automobile from the water under the railroad bridge. Men on the bridge itself seem to have clamped a cord to the top of the vehicle and will now attempt to pull it out somehow. The sign visible between the two crowds of people reads "Railroad Crossing - Look Out For the Cars" Utility poles are clustered here and line the dirt road that crosses the tracks. On the left side of the photograph in the background, we can see an open field with several large wooden-frame barn buildings. On the right, we see a parked car, a two-story wooden home, and the train station. A forest can be seen in the distance. All image rights reserved to Henry Sheldon Museum, www.henrysheldonmuseum.org.
