EDITORS COMMENTS
**Caption:**
"BRIDGEPORT WRECK (c1910-1915)" - A poignant moment in time captured by George Grantham Bain's lens, courtesy of the Library of Congress. This photograph print reveals the devastating aftermath of a train derailment that occurred between 1910 and 1915 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, United States.
As rescue workers tend to the wreckage, survivors are seen amidst the rubble, their faces etched with shock and concern. The express train's carriage lies overturned on its side, while other cars remain precariously balanced or have been salvaged from the scene. In this moment of chaos and destruction, Bain News Service's photographer has captured a snapshot of human resilience in the face of adversity.
This powerful image serves as a testament to the importance of press photography during America's early 20th century, when newsreels were still evolving and photographs played a crucial role in conveying stories to the public. The BRIDGEPORT WRECK print is just one example of Bain News Service's commitment to documenting significant events that shaped American history.
