Train About To Explode At Van Trai Station

"It won't be long now! Watch bombs in air..."  This train was wiped out with low level bombs & gunfire. Note on back of the photo reads: Three track RR sliding with 17 cars and locomotive, which is destroyed, note wreckage from bomb bursts and quantity of escaping steam. 3 cars probably destroyed, more damaged. Two of track torn up by bomb bursts, hole from strafing is visible on extreme left track.  This should be Van Trai Station, French Indochina.
