Springfield, M’s Jan 4 87’ This two line cachet is not recorded in Railway Disaster Mail by Hoggarth & Gwynn. They only mention a three line cachet. A rare cover from this wreck

1923 CASPER WYOMING. On the evening of the 27th September the Colorado and Southern Railroad Train No. 30 fell through a washed out bridge at Coal Creek 15 miles east of Casper, killing 31 of the 66 passengers. Very heavy rains (nearly a quarter of the annual rainfall) had fallen in the previous two days and as a result the normally dry creek had turned into a raging torrent 75 feet wide, the strength of the water preventing passengers from escaping the wreck. Recovered mail received a three line cachet ‘Salvaged From / Coal Creek Wreck / Near Casper, Wyo’ This cover to Des Moines, Iowa, was posted in Casper at 7pm on the 27th September. A picture post card of the flooding and train wreck accompanies the cover. Fine and very uncommon
