Santa Fe Locomotive through a wall
L.A. Times posted this great photo today from their archives. Pretty amazing that no one got hurt.

An enlarged poster sized copy of that photo that S. Towler posted is on the wall downstairs of the building that I work in. I sometimes spend a few minutes looking at it up close.
