Writer looking for train wreck photos

Sunday, May 17, 2009

To the Editor:

My name is Harry Graves.

I am currently finishing a two-volume photo history of Indiana train wrecks.

I am writing as I am looking for a few more photos so that as many communities as possible can be included.

This has been a 10-year process and I have already acquired more than 3,000 photos.

The books will be printed in two volumes. No. 1 being the Steam era, which will cover up until about 1950. The second volume covers the modern era from 1950 until the present.

Anyone that contributes photos to this work will receive credit in the books. Anyone with photos that I can use can send them to: Book Project, PO Box 272, Salem, Ind., 47167, or I can be e-mailed at capt_graves@peoplepc.com.

Thanks,

Harry S. Graves,

Salem
