Unknown N&W coal car |
| Description: |
The last number of this offset-side coal car (N&W's term for hopper car) seems to an "8". The car is part of a westbound train, crossing over a small bridge above old US Highway 52. I don't know how many other cars like this N&W had on its roster. This picture is one of the first photos I ever took of railroad cars. |
