Coopers, WV - Derailment Photo

[NW Mailing List]

Jeff

Not enough info in the photos.

Class B Loco. No. 68 was involved in some type of head end collision On 
March 29, 1902.  Don't think this is the one by the trees and clothing 
the children were wearing.

The only other one that I have a record was on Aug. 24, 1900.  A couple 
of Class G Locomotives Nos. 240 and 297 were involved in some type of 
head end at Cooper Station.  Nothing to indicate this was a head end 
from the photo but the season seems to make it a possible candidate.
