"The Freight Wreck At Axemann
The above is a photo taken by J. A. Finkbinder on January the 15th a short time after the wreck. In the foreground is the turnpike with people crowding against the railing, looking down in the stream where the unfortunate engineer Edward J. Grueff of Sunbury was pinned to the ground by the cab and was drowned before he could be released. Aside of the wreck lies the tender. The wreck occurred on the Lewisburg & Tyrone R.R. a short distance north of Axemann where the turnpike makes a very sharp turn around a hill."
This was Grueff's first trip as an engineer.
