Yes, Keith we all learn things from Pat.
I come back to this thread from time to time to reread Pat's research and contemplate which D&RG interchange cars I might want to build for my 1901, 1909 and 1924 C&S rosters.
In the Klingers' new book, among many other amazing photos, I found this illustration of Pat's research:

A D&RG not-yet-high-side gon has derailed and lies beside the C&S mainline. Location is just a wee bit north of Climax, near Buffehrs Spur. The date is in the World War 1 era. C&S 72 and its eastbound freight is carefully moving past the derailment site and stopped to have its picture taken.
The gon was likely hauling coal, now spewed all over the ground. Wonder where is was consigned?
