Part of Hal Will Collection
Great Northern Steam Locomotive 2507 at Mukilteo, Washington in 1947. Steam Locomotive 2507, a Class P-2, wreck on side in Puget Sound. Notes by photographer Hal Will: 'Great Northern train Number 27, the Fast Mail, hit a landslide near Picnic Point, south of Mukilteo, Washington, in the pre-dawn hours of February 18, 1948. The engineer, Al White, and fireman, W.P. "Bill" Murphy, were both injured when a slide rolled the engine, tender and a baggage car off the track. Murphy lost a thumb when it got caught in a valve handle as Number 2507 went over the rock sea wall into Puget Sound. The Great Northern yard bull (railroad cop) tried to prevent picture taking, but I shot this one and ran fast enough to save my 4x5 camera, and my skin. [HW]'. Bill Murphy states it was the tender footplate that sliced off the tip of his thumb . Other subject classes: Stm Loco
