very nice collection.

Really great collection of photos!  That stock car #182 is really interesting.
Curious as to how many of the Lakeland wreck cars were saved?

The show was able to recover about 10 or so of the 17 cars that turned over.  Some of the rest could have easily been saved, however in their haste to clear the mainline for Amtrak and CSX trains, the bulldozer operaters were ordered to shove everything off the right-of-way ASAP, and in doing so, bent the frames of several cars - including the former Wabash "National Colors" coach.
