Coopers, WV - Derailment Photo

[NW Mailing List]

Bud:
 
Thank you.  That detail of N&W history was probably new to most of  us.  It 
certainly was to me, and is a much more logical explanation than  the 
"Lehigh and New England" guess that I and others put forth.

Jeff,
 
You can see the catenary wire and insulators at  the top of the photo and 
so this has to be 1915 or later.  The "AND NEW  ENGLAND" on the hopper would 
probably be that of the Scioto Valley and New  England RR built as separate 
company from Columbus, Ohio reaching Coal  Grove, Ohio in 1881.  The SV&NE 
was purchased by the N&W and the  physical connection was made in 1892, most 
of which became the Columbus  line.

A friend of mine from Lynchburg sent me the  attached photo earlier this 
week.  He found it in his  grandparent's basement.  Has anyone ever seen 
this one before or is it  something that has never seen the light of day?  
The third hopper car  from the left really captured my interest. ..."AND NEW 
 ENGLAND".  Does anyone have information on this derailment?  My  best 
guess is that the photograph is from the 1920's, perhaps a bit  earlier.
