This is a rare and compelling Real Photo Postcard (RPPC) from March 1, 1916, depicting the aftermath of a Great Northern Railway (G.N.R.R.) rotary snowplow wreck in the treacherous Tumwater Canyon near Leavenworth, Washington. The image captures the damaged snowplow amidst deep snow and rugged terrain, with two men standing nearby, giving a sense of the scale and severity of the incident. The back of the postcard features a divided back, is unposted, and has no writing, making it a pristine piece of railroad and regional history. A significant historical document for collectors of railroadiana, Washington State history, and topographical postcards.
