Title	Mason Creek Bridge N & W Train Wreck
Creator	no creator given
Subject	Engine,locomotive, Roanoke,VA
Work Date	c. 1892
Material	Black & White
Current Site	CD: NS022
Notes	Negative #6710-D, Train in WaterWay Received from Jim Cochran 3/18/02 Best guess on this one. You can tell by the builder plate she was built by Rogers Locomotive Works. I haven't been able to make out the number on the headlight but would suspect the locomotive is a class G. Seems to fit a wreck of the 192 on August 14, 1898. This locomotive was handling 3rd 92 when it went into the creek at location called Mason Creek Bridge. The cause was a washout due to heavy rains in the area. I list the engineer of the train as W. E. Kirkwood. Have no idea if he survrived the wreck. Best source of details on any of these wrecks would be local newspapers in the area for that time period. This one should have been covered by the Roanoke paper. Jim Blackstock
