Wreck of the Day Express - 1889 Flood

Newpaper clipping from 1950. PS - you would think someone would have caught the wrong spelling of Conemaugh from this Tribune article....DO YOU REMEMBER....the wreck of the Day Express at East Conemaugh during the Johnstown Flood of 1889? This picture showing in the foreground, the engine which sounded the alarm, was submitted by James D. Hays of 306 North Second Street. So I put this clipping thru AI and this is what the image came out as....not perfect - I find it interesting what gets slightly changed when dealing with AI. Small, stubtle I also usually prefer pictures their original colors. Not a very big fan of colorized updates.  changes like some of the houses in the background.
