Ken-

What I wouldn’t give to see the rest of the glass plate negatives from this photographer!

I am guessing that this may very well be one of the earliest CB&Q Waycar photos extent…or is that ruled out because the steps are passenger car width and it is a baggage?  …..the early version of the No.7 truck and standard 3 window body is intriguing…..sure would like to see what the cupola looked like.   In the stereo view of Aurora it looks like the early cupolas were very narrow, short and tall.  I wonder if this wasn’t taken in the vicinity of the approach to La Grange…..although it could have been anywhere.

Cool mismatch in the heights of the drawheads….one advantage of link and pin couplers!!!

With regards to engine 53 there is  CB&Q on the cab but there is no lettering on the tender that I can see.

 

Here is the car that goes with it. You can see the CB&Q that looks like black with probably red shadow.
