611 photo c.1952 Location?

Thanks Grant and Jim,

The angle is unusual. You can actually see homes along Princeton Ave in 
the background over the first coach. That fooled me.

Jim, Can you add a little more about Leroy A. Scott? Did I read 
somewhere he was a pastor? I've enjoyed several of his great photos from 
very unique locations over the years. Thanks for any bio info.

The station is behind the tender and the P1. The pole in the background 
with the guy lines is a catenary support tower and supports a yard 
signal.

VA? WV?

Something doesn't seem like Bluefield to me. Any location thoughts are 
welcome.

I can assure you that this is Bluefield. Leroy Scott simply found an 
angle nobody else had photographed from. BTW: I had the good fortune to 
meet him when he was making these photos.
