I just found an article in the December 1, 1902 Youngstown Vindicator about a train wreck at the "Carbon Station" "12 miles east" of Youngstown. There's a photo of the train and a shattered building.

Thank you for your help. I hope to eventually find pictures from the late 1800's or early 1900's of the housing community of Carbon Limestone Company. I believe it was located just down the "Hill" from Hillsville on the other-side of the River. All of the links and pictures are appreciated.
