Harold - Do you think the image might indeed be of the actual  first 
through run sometime around 1922 when the Wind River Canyon line was  
completed? 
The K2 certainly looks a little bit worse for wear and the roadbed  pretty 
much looks to be dirt, untreated ties and light rail. From the tired  looking 
crew on the pilot to the cowboys on horses, certainly a varied group on  
hand to celebrate whatever event it was.

Louis,
It  would not have been through the Big Horn Basin as the portion through 
the  Wind River Canyon was the last completed and that was around 1922.   
Trains went to Thermopolis and Stage Coached over the Owl Creek Mountains to  
Bonneville and on to Casperand reverse for the Casper traffic.  Kuby  would 
be a mispell for Kirby. North of Thermopolis.

While on the subject of Lines West photographs taken by John Barriger,  I 
found the attached image elsewhere on the Web showing CB&Q Class K-2  No. 640 
(former B&MR No. 312). The image was identified as the first  train though 
Big Horn Basin to Kuby, WY, 1890. 
 
The date is incorrect as the 640 was built for the B&MR by Rogers  in 
December 1892. Plus, it wasn't renumbered to CB&Q 640 until 1904.  Thus, the 
image had to been taken after 1904. Also, some of the  clothing styles in this 
image look to be more like the 1910 to 1920  era. Could this image have 
recorded a later reenactment of the first  train through the Big Horn Basin? 
Also, where was/is Kuby, WY?
