[PHOTOS] The East Bronx IRT Crash of 1957

Posted by Bill Newkirk on Tue Dec 27 20:47:03 2022

This photo is titled "East Bronx crash" that occurred in Sept 26, 1957 that took the life of the motorman (RIP). I assume it was on the #6 Pelham line.
I hoping the Bronx natives here may remember this. Question is how can such a catastrophe happen ? Shouldn't the signal system have prevented this from happening. Also, it looks like Hi-Vs or Gibbs HI-Vs were pictured here. See other pictures I posted of Hi-Vs below.

Unidentified line, no date. I can't read those plate signs, can you ? NOTE: Exposed third rail.
