The image depicts the aftermath of a devastating train wreck on the Camden and Amboy railroad, which occurred during the mid-19th century in New Jersey. The scene is filled with chaos and destruction as scattered train cars lie strewn across a bridge over a river. The intricate details of the wood engraving bring to life the magnitude of this tragic event, capturing both the physical damage caused by the collision as well as its emotional impact on those involved.
