F3 number 19L
After hauling the El Capitain into LA the locomotives were uncoupled and switched to track between the platforms to be taken for servicing. The hostler messed up and the four unit locomotive set crashed through the end of track bumper and across the service road. After smashing through the concrete railing it came to rest overhanging the street below. January 25, 1948, Los Angeles Union Station
