The old quote "One picture is better than a thousand words." does not hold true for me on this one. Because I can see the front of a freight car just to the right of the locomotive, it appears that the train was moving from right to left. But given that it must have hit the Chevy pretty hard, it must have been going pretty fast (for a freight train) so how could it have stopped so quickly?
I'm pretty sure this was bought recently in an episode of the pickers. They got a bunch of photos with the buy and this little girl still owned it like 60 years later, and this was one of them.

Ok ...now that I got some rest and cleaned my glasses I believe it is a 150 sedan delivery. Sent from my SM-T387V using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Many time there are freight trains with locomotives back to back, I would bet THAT WAS NOT THE TRAIN ENGINE THAT HIT THE CHEVY, it was another one.
Nice color shot of the Barnett Brothers roadster at Indianapolis in 1966. Ron Lux was the rookie driver hence the Rookie Stripes on the tail. A roadster was pretty much out to lunch at Indy by this time and the car missed the show. I've never known exactly what happened but poor Ron was fatally injured in a USAC sprint race a couple of months later. Thanks, Rootie.
Yes, it is. It is one stupid comment after another. Someone must have told him he was funny once and he believed it.
Yes indeed, the ol' hang out. This was taken in Barstow, CA in 1955. The '40 was owned by my friend Eddie Shaidell and was (usually) the fastest car in town. His dad owned an engine rebuild shop and if Eddie needed more HP in the '40, it was back into the shop for an update. Burger Haven had a cool juke box in the enclosed area in front, a quarter would get you the best music around (5 songs). At this time there was only one radio station in town and they mostly played Guy Lombardo, Benny Goodman, etc. Good memories, thanks for the post.
