Train Wreck

This is a photo my grandfather, George Washington Doss, took somewhere in West Virginia. I do not know the exact date but would like to know more about this train wreckage.

It is in the McAlpin, WV area we believe. Date unknown.
If you have any info on this photo I would love to hear from you!

Date & Place: Jan at Railway in McAlpin, West Virginia USA
