Description

This wreck occurred sometime around 1943 or 1944 just west of where Hulen Street Bridge is today in Ft. Worth, Texas. The 600 engine was struck and overturned, killing a man by the last name of Gober. This wreck "was just like the one [in 1998] when the engines rolled out of the siding 8 miles west of Ft. Worth." -- Cy Martin
