A Wreck Under the El in Egleston (1929)

For our Photo of the Day on Thursdays, we highlight an image of old JP. This week's image is from the Boston Public Library's collection of famed photographer Leslie Jones. This 1929 photo had the caption, "Auto accident at Egleston Sq. and many hurt," according to the BPL's Flickr account. Tip of the scally cap to Old School Boston Facebook page for featuring this photo, which first drew my attention to it.
