I'd concur with Rick. Petroleum had been up and coming for a long time by the mid to late '90s which is about the vintage of this photo - if I had to guess. The Sanborn maps which I have not looked at for a while indicate the sampler concentrator across from the depot (which I don't think you included in this cropping) isn't there until about then... iirc. Also beyond the Sampler up grade a few hundred feet was the electric power company spur. And off the photo to the right was the Breckenridge water column for the RR. This photo is so "early" to the C&S that if there was a C&S logo in the view it would be blazing white and unmistakable, imo. Every thing that I can tell is UP something or nuther or maybe DL&G. So this predates the TOC... I'm pretty sure.

Great Photo. Wish I had the room and time to do the Breckenridge layout - this is one of those few "gritty" spots along the SP.
