Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Ruined Train Cars

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - While trains were used to transport U.S. Soldiers and their equipment during the Korean War, trains in North Korea were targets of attack by U.S. and other U.N. forces. Here, U.S. forces target rail cars south of Wonsan, North Korea, an east coast port city.
Reason
Intersting photograph of railcars under attack in a time of war, and as the photograph shows these rail cars apparently do more than simply derail if struck. According to the article it got to the point where North Korean trains were kept in tunnels during the day to keep the attacks on the railcars to a minimum.
