Train vs Tank

7/23/2017

 
Lat 34° 14.7972’ N.
Long 115° 05.0447’ W.
Little remains to mark the site where the accident occurred.
Picture
The results of a collision between a M3 General Lee tank and a Santa Fe train early one morning in 1942 near Salt Marsh in the Mojave Desert.  The tank is overturned and the turret is upside down just to the left of the tank hull.  One tank crewman died during the collision and another died later of his injuries.  These and other interesting stories are contained in my book, The Silence and The Sun.
