     You are correct it is the site where the 1204s boiler landed after the explosion. I worked Monday on

repairing a gas line just to the right of the picture . No sign that it ever happened . The signal base that

they ran by is still there and the telephone pole in front of the boiler you can find the butt of it sawed off level

in the grass

My guess is the location of where the boiler landed after the explosion of class A 1204 at Nolan, WV on July 7,1942.

For comparison, I have attached a photo of the famed Cedar Curve, the site where 611 wrecked in 1956.
