Well 1st things 1st the location of this derailment is wrong and so is the year. The actual location of this picture is Moingona , IA. this is very bridge Kate Shelly crossed that made her a Heroine . The actual year was 1899 of a fast mail train derailed doing 80 mph . Tried to let CNWHS know about this error but only got a response that don't sell any photographs they're all privately owned . so for you history buffs who want great picture of the bridge Kate Shelly crossed this is it .
