While doing some carpentry work in my "yes it will be done someday dear" basement office, I was listening to the old 1929 Carter Family song "Engine 143" about the wreck of engineer George Alley on the C&O. I then ran across this photo and wonder if this 4-4-0 is indeed the same one involved in the wreck? Anyone know? http://community.webshots.com/photo/45956928/45958230gsRCnj ryarger@rypn.org |

Alley's engine that day was #134, but #143 has a better ryhme to it.
