A photo post card view of the passenger train wreck on the Williams Valley Branch of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad. According to some newspaper reports, the accident occurred closer to Williamstown, Dauphin County, than Tower City, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, in August 1908, as the train was heading west toward its final destination in Lykens, Dauphin County. The engineer and firemen both lost their lives.
