Thanks for this lead (if you will pardon the pun). I suspect that the photo you mention is one I have just received but I’ll follow it up.

Hi Rupert -

 

On page 87 of Rick Mills' book 125 Years of Black Hills Railroading there is another photo from around the same time as yours (perhaps even taken the same day?) showing just a single trolley (no trailer) below the C&NW bridge. It's credited simply to the Author's Collection. You might try getting in touch with Mills to see if he knows the provenance of the other photo (i.e., from Fielder). I'd start by contacting the Black Hills Central Railroad, which was a co-publisher of Mills' 2004 book. They likely have an address for him. In fact, they themselves may have information on those photos and perhaps higher-resolution copies. Good luck!
