I'm searching for a month,
and even better, date in 1951 of the wreck that hit the leg of the Koldok coal
tower. The location was about 2 miles east of Oriska, ND. Oriska is about 12
mi east of Valley City ND. I have been in touch with several local retired NP
trainman but none can remember this event. The damage to this 97 ft. Ogle
coaling tower was so great that they had to tear it down- even before the end
of steam. The local papers have many photos of the 1947 wreck west of Koldok
but I need a starting month to continue my search. So far I have only two
photos of the wreck, one with a boxcar leaning against the bent leg. I will
share them off line with anyone interested- just send me an e-mail. I am
trying two model this structure and need photos. Koldok 1951 Oriska North Dakota Compiler
