On the NAL web site, in the rolling stock section, there is a photo of
a train wreck (http://www.northarkansasline.com/new_page_13.htm).

Pictured is a KCFS&M caboose and North Arkansas passenger car, with
the caption, "Location Unknown". The same picture is in the Seligman
MO bicentennial book "The First Century of Seligman MO". The caption
under the photo reads, "June 15, 1910". The KCFS&M caboose, is the
Kansas City, Fort Scott & Memphis (one of the systems that became the
FRISCO). With the colliding of FRISCO and North Arkansas cars, I
wonder if the location is or near, Seligman. Having the date pinned
down, I wonder if there are any records available that might shed more
light? Anyone?

Hmmm, on the next page of the Seligman book, there are more train
wreck pictures dated June 15, 1910 which have captions of "M&NA train
wreck down Butler Hollow". Same wreck?
