Two damaged open-top freight cars (gondolas) loaded with rectangular wooden forms sit on a elevated wooden train track. The tracks appear to be on a wharf structure extending out to a dock. Wooden debris is densely scattered in the foreground in front of the tracks and is evidently floating in water in a channel. The front end of the track structure has collapsed and the front car is tilted downward. The forms in the freight cars have also been damaged. Two men are looking down from the raised part of the track. 1 photographic print : b&w ; 8 x 10 in. nol image image_photo United States - Texas - Galveston County - Texas City mod-tim 1947-04-16 1947-04-16 [Damaged railroad tracks near the docks after the 1947 Texas City Disaster] local-cont-no: veale-042 Texas City Disaster, 1947 Business, Economics and Finance - Transportation - Railroads Business, Economics and Finance - Shipping Places - United States - Texas - Galveston County - Texas City Disasters - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Industrial accidents - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Debris - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Railroad freight cars - Texas - Texas City -1947 Railroad tracks - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Explosions - Texas - Texas City - 1947 ark: ark:/67531/metapth11872 http://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth11872/
