Title	[New York, New Haven and Hartford Locomotive No. 321 crash through roundhouse]
Creator	Unknown
Date	July 8, 1905
Decade	1900-1909
Part Of	Everett L. DeGolyer, Jr. United States railroad photographs
Place	Hartford, Connecticut
Description	The locomotive is New York, New Haven and Hartford No. 321, a 2-6-0 mogul type, just two years old at the time, and it started of its own accord and broke through the rear wall of the roundhouse. The top of the building that can be seen behind the roundhouse is the Connecticut State Capital. Curiously, another locomotive had a similar incident on June 22, 1902 just to the right of where No. 321 smashed the back wall. Evidence of the earlier accident and repair to the wall can be seen in the photo just above the window that is partially obscured by the front of the engine. No. 321 was repaired and went on to a long, uneventful career in both freight and passenger service, and was finally retired on December 31, 1935.
