It's been so long now that my memory is fuzzy, but I think it may be one of the books I bought a while after I'd already finished my article. It looks familiar, at least - I'll have to look around for it. IIRC there's also a contemporary engineering trade magazine or some such that detailed the damage at Peabody. Not sure if I have it saved since this was before I realized that keeping all my files and folders and research and whatnot well-organized might be a good idea lolThanks, I am diligently awaiting your New Richmond article! I was wondering also, have you read this book by James T. Carrier on the Tri-state tornado as it struck Peabody Mine #18 which according to the damage report was constructed out of steel and reinforced concrete structures and was levelled. I think this is the most compelling instance of EF-5 damage produced by the storm. I have a few low res images of the area and was wondering if you had more?
On another note, have you come across any images of the '300 feet of railroad track torn out' near the railroad house in West Frankfort or the railroad trestle blown from it's piers? Lastly I attempted to enhance some of your article images to varying degrees of success. Was wondering if you had attempted to do something similar.
No photos of the torn-up railroad tracks, although I haven't done that much digging for new material in years. The enhanced images look good! I did try with some of the photos back in the day but most of the results were.. not great. Would probably be worth another shot, especially with some of the newer tools available.
