Yes, that is very possible but 204614 still was not a "derrick" it was a pile 
driver.

the wreck show a "wrecking derrick" not 204614.

Then why does the letter from the superintendent of the M.&S.L. state,
"You were in charge of the CB&Q derrick 204614 and assisted in
reconstruction of the bridge between Abingdon and Berwick?" Are you
suggesting that Grandpa's No. 204614 may have been there but it's a
different derrick in the photos? I had never considered that.

Bob
