Remarks & Notes 
Charging across Trout Brook. With their locomotive at a full gallop, the crew of WW&F Extra 9 South takes their train across the boxed pony truss bridge that spans Trout Brook near MP 8. This bridge was originally built for and used on a standard gauge railroad, so it is significantly wider than the train. The current bridge is far more stout than the one which existed here on the original WW&F. This is also the site of the famous "Mason's Wreck", in which the locomotive jumped the track, taking a couple of cars with it as it plummeted into the brook below, on the right side of the photo. Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt in that wreck.
