I posted these in a Lexington SD photo albium in the C&O Ry. Yahoo site. There are some postcards also.

Comments: Thanks so much Everett! My Great grandfather could have been on the crew for any of these photos. I have a handwritten order from him when he had the 1041 on a work train on the Lexington line. They were loading rail somewhere and it told his flagman to flag all motorcars and trains.
