Several train cars lie in ruin, derailed with train parts strewn across the railroad accident site. Three men look through the wreckage while onlookers stand a short distance away. The Southern Pacific Railroad locomotive had crashed into a seven-ton truck on the tracks in Glendale. A dozen people were injured, with no fatalities.
