Scope and content

Photograph showing a locomotive pulling two cars, one loaded with boulders and one carrying a crane. The photograph may have been taken on the South Jetty at the mouth of the Columbia River during repair work in the early to mid-1930s. Written on the negative sleeve is the following unverified text: “Point Adams Lifeguard Station / ‘Locomotive which lifeguard lookout said was knocked over by great waves from South Jetty railroad’ / 10/22/1934.” The caption may refer to a storm that occurred the weekend of October 21-22, 1934, which knocked a locomotive crane off the railway on the South Jetty. Also see image Nos. 371N0241, 371N5711, 371N5712, 371N5714, and 371N5715.
