The portal has a build date of 1918. [zyxcreative]
I'm not surprised there was a stringlined derailment because a light freight car was placed before a heavy load. But what caught my eye is that a well car was able to flip over a locomotive. Some comments indicate that the locomotives were mid-train helpers. The S-curve didn't help.

This source taught me that Tunnel #10 was the one east of the loop. And the S-curve on the topo map is consistent with the above photos.
