From James Dumbsky

Dyer Historical Society pictures from the 1941 wreck at the US 30 grade crossing involving a Monon train and a Hancock truck carrying toilets.

Right: Not sure if this picture is the Hancock wreck or not. The only writing was "May 18, 1944" and no location was shown.

These images are courtesy of the Dyer Historical Society and Jim Dumbsky of Crown Point. Left: Monon depot and tower, Dyer, looking north across EJ & E double tracks. Not too far in distance is junction with Michigan Central. Right: Picture of supply train line for the"Ideal Section" of US 30. Photo is undated. Pretty sure this is looking eastbound and US 30 is to the right side of the photo. Note bridge for Monon tracks.

Left: Eugene Stech, Dyer's first town mashal at the US 30 grade crossing of the Monon. Date not indicated.
