    Ouch, though I'm surprised that the wooden coaches appear to be mostly intact with the engine on its side and at least one truck scattered.

    I believe the NKP also traversed this town?

    And the big hook is already on scene in the first photo. I'm having trouble figuring out the engine on its side--where is the cab?

    Most of it is right there.

    It may not have been designed as a convertible, but someone figured out how to put the top down!

    Looks to be the roof laying just below the operators station of the cab. To the left of the main body of the boiler, steam dome in directly at center of frame.

    The tender is full left can just make out water fill door looking toward camera.
