Description N&W Class LC-1 2505 at Switchback, WV
Notes The date listed is incorrect. The photo was taken between 1915 and 1918 after electrification of the main line, but before the N&W substation was added to Switchback in 1918. The N&W substation required a second tubular pole on the catenary below the power house. In addition the smoke stack was removed from the power house by 1915.
