People responding to and helping after an avalanche hit a train Item Info

Photo of several groups of people standing in deep snow. Some people seem to be trying to dig out covered train cars that were hit by an avalanche on the Northern Pacific Railroad. Trees can be seen knocked down by the snow slide in the background, and there are many shovels sticking out of the snow throughout the area. Other photos of the accident say that three people died.
