Title: CIL J-1 533 boiler explosion 1928
Post by: Eric Reinert on August 06, 2024, 04:27:20 pm

Article for April 20, 1928 regarding crown sheet failure due to low water level of J-1 533 entering Bloomington Yard. I could not find any photos of 533 in my collection.

Do we know if the crewmen survived their injuries?
