The HS hopper dates it between 1918 & 1923 (built and rebuilt years)

Jeff,
As Bud Jeffries pointed out, the electrification puts it after 1915, but further the HSa hopper (second one going back) would not have been built prior to 1918 according to Dow.

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.
