I plucked if off someones facebook page, they apparently found it online somewere. The only info I have is it was supposedly taken in Norwood Ma. The funny thing about the photo is i just bought FM#594 in ho scale. (#595 is in the photo). Any info on the photo would be appreciated.

Someone with technical skills may be able to read what is on the door of the car in the background, to the right of the locomotives. It's hard to see from the pictue, but blowing it up shows the classic bubble on the roof, from either a police car or fire department car, and may give a clue to the where abouts.

The only thing I can contribute is a date of 1954 or later, because the wrecked panel truck is a 1954 Chevrolet.

FYI, the wrecked vehicle is actually a sedan delivery. note the car tail lights. a panel truck would have
truck tail lights. anyways----a bad ending to a good car.
