Harry and Joe.

Great info I never knew on a very common NW image.  I'll attach it to the
two copies I have. Makes the photo much more meaningful. J 600 was being
completed when this was taken.

Thanks,  John Garner

Do you have any idea of the photo's date?

John:
The photo is from N&W Neg. #29181 made on 8/14/1941 and the train is Extra
2054 West.  Location is shown to be Matewan, W.Va., but White is actually
1.8 mi. to the
east.                                           Harry


So everyone knows what photo is being discussed:

The bridge over the river in the background is bridge 927B which carries
the McCarr branch over the river to go up Blacksberry Creek.
