[Leica] RETROSPECT 14

[Bill Clough]

Hi there--


Canyon, Texas is the first community south of Amarillo. It is the home of
West Texas State A&M. Numerous BNSF tracks run across the northern side of
the town. They were – and are – a the main line to the west coast.


In March of 1964, a freight train derailed. There was a grain elevator
nearby which served as a tall tripod to capture the wreck and an obviously
unhappy Santa Fe employee in the foreground.


At the paper we often posted pictures on a bulletin board for a caption
contest.


The winning caption: “Casey, you son of a bitch.”
