Old railroad picture found

[NW Mailing List]

Going through great grandmother's house we found an old picture of what 
might be clean up of a train wreck.  The picture is moderately damaged 
and some what hard to figure out, but we can tell the following.
  - It is by Davis photography of Roanoke
  - It is labeled "Near M.P. 14  W-S Div. Sept. 5th 1915"
  - In the forefront of the picture is a RR crane car on the track with 
some other cares farther down the track
  - On the left side of the track is  a cliff with people standing on it 
looking down at the track an a house set back from the cliff.  There are 
also people on the other side of the track and on the track too.
  - The location appears to be in a "bottom"
Is this a common picture, Do you know what the event was? Looking for 
some guidance on the picture's significance.
Thank you,
