Anyone Else Fascinated By Old Locomotives?

Tried without success to find some history of this picture from the Long Island Railway. Not often you see the locomotive detached from the tended especially on the line. By all the activity it is clear something has happened but just what I do not know. LIR had some horrific accidents and this may be one of them.

Not sure where this is, it looks like the Pennsylvania Rail Road logo but not sure. There is a station in New Jersey by the Red Bank name but does not look like it was there in early diesel era.

David never even noticed the "ghost". Good eye as we used to say playing baseball.
