Image Record Data - RVN09624

Date: March 06, 1946  Location: Drummond, MT Photographer: Ron V. Nixon Railroad: Northern Pacific Railway Caption: "Extra 5121 West rear-ended the main line local, Extra 1816 West, at Drummon, MT. This accident resulted indirectly from the events surrounding the derailment of wrecker 47 east of Missoula (see RVN09581-09595). Missoula engineer Charles F. Reinke and his fireman had been on a layover in Helena when they were called to take Helena wrecker no. 37 to Missoula to help re-rail wrecker 47. In the meantime, officials decided to use a small wrecker from the Missoula car shop to assist wrecker 27 for that job, so Reinke and his fireman were stopped at Garrison and sent back to Helena. Then, after returning to Helena, they were called short of their legal rest period to handle Extra 5121 West. According to railroad officials, as Reinke approached Drummond he and his fireman had probably fallen asleep and missed block signals protecting the rear of Extra 1816 West. Extra 1816 West's conductor looked out the back of his caboose just in time to see the high speed approach of Extra 5121 West, so he ran into the nearby field. His brakemen were already on the ground giving signals for switching moves they were making at Drummond. The big Z-7 4-6-6-4 type locomotive plowed into the local's wooden caboose at high speed. There were only minor injuries to the crews involved. Conductor Emil Berglin was in charge of Extra 5121 West. Engineer Elmer Walkup and Conductor Malcom McCauley were handling the local."

This view, looking west and taken a few days after the accident, shows at least one main track restored to service as cleanup continues. The cars in the foreground are from the Extra 5121 West. Locomotive no. 5121 is being re-railed by the wrecker in the distance."

This view shows what is believed to be wrecker no. 45. Wreckers 45 and 47, new 250-ton "Z Model" wreckers built by Industrial Brownhoist in 1945, were assigned to Missoula. They were two of the four largest wreckers (nos. 45-48) on the NP."

Date: March 27, 1946  Location: Missoula, MT Photographer: Ron V. Nixon Railroad: Northern Pacific Railway Caption: "Second No. 2, a section of the eastbound North Coast Limited, prepares for departure from Missoula, Montana. Engineer Albert A. Melton is in charge of engine no. 5134, a Class Z-8 4-6-6-4 locomotive. Engineer Melton established his fireman's seniority date on August 26, 1905, and was promoted to engineer on January 1, 1910."

Date: April 07, 1946  Location: Bonner, MT Photographer: Ron V. Nixon Railroad: Northern Pacific Railway Caption: "Second No. 1, a section of the westbound North Coast Limited powered by Class Z-8 4-6-6-4 no. 5134, passes the Deer Creek Road grade crossing at high speed--proabably around 80 miles per hour. Engineer Albert A. Melton is at the throttle of no. 5134. His fireman's date is August 25, 1905, and he was promoted to engineer on January 1, 1910. This location is about milepost 115 on the Rocky Mountain Division between Bonner and Missoula. Bonner is located at milepost 113.2 and Missoula is located at milepost 119.4. This was a high speed double track line, and westbound passenger trains typically ran as fast as possible between Bonner and Missoula. Operating rules allowed regular (scheduled) trains to arrive at stations early, but not to leave early. By passing the last station (where time was shown in the Employee's Timetable) prior to a scheduled stop at the highest possible speed, a locomotive engineer could make up a little time if he was running late, or he could arrive a little early at the scheduled stop so as to allow more station dwell time. The track closest to the camera is the electrified line of the Milwaukee Road, which closely parallels the NP line at several points between Garrison and Missoula."
