Jenet,
Perhaps this message is too late, considering your 2005 posting date. I just picked up a picture postcard yesterday with a gray and white image (not realphoto) of the wreck at Mentor, Ohio. It shows what are probably the last two cars, upright but off the track in front of a station whose name is illegible. Many people are standing around. Someone wrote "Mentor wreck, June 21, 1905 in the space at the bottom. The card's publisher was F M Smith, Mentor, Ohio.
