Re: [CBQ] Wyoming photos

Pete,  Another thing I noticed were empty train order hoops hanging over the hand brake wheel on the rear of the waycar.  They would probably drop an empty hoop at the feet of the operator when they caught the order hoop he was holding for them.  This way he didn't have to walk down the track  who knows how far to retrieve the hoop he had just handed up.

Pete, the photo I was refering to was not the men playing cribbage but the 3 coyboys resting in the waycar.  Put the word railroads in search box and you get 2 full pages of Wyoming shots.

Archie  et al

 

Whenever I see one of these old time photos showing railroaders I always spend time looking at all the details of the photo especially trying to decide which guy is the conductor, brakeman engr, fireman etc. 

 

Sometimes the most interesting thing in the photos is not the main subject but the details especially as it pertains to the railroad atmosphere of the time
