Steve,

Most deffinitely a photo op for the RR. That may be the only neat as a pin photo of a hopper ever produced.

Group;

Found this picture at the West Virginia Historical Photographs
Collection. A C&O twin hopper loaded with lump coal, laid in so
cleanly it almost looks like paving stones. Is this typical loading
for this size of coal, or is it so well placed for the sake of the
photographer?
