Help finding PRR mow train picture

I am looking for a picture of a PRR mow train that I can not find and can't figure out where I found online. It's steam era before the yellow mow paint. The picture was angled looking down the track from the right hand side of the picture. Looking down the train from the point of view of the photographer, here is the order of the consist:

N5 in freight car color
x29 x2
flatcar, FM class?
derrick
flatcar, FM class?
camp car x2
loco, looked to be a L1s, either pushing or running in reverse

I am looking for this photo again as I would like to model this consist but need the picture so that I can get the car types correct. Any help finding this picture would be really helpful.

Not the photo you are looking for, but this J.J. Young, Jr. photo is one of the best wreck train photos.

That is a nice photo.  I expect to be way off, but that looks like the Schuylkill Branch just upriver from Spring City.

Not sure on the location, but J.J. Young Jr. did a lot of his photography in the Pittsburgh and Wheeling, WV areas.

Here is my approximation of that wreck train.
