I completely agree. One of the things I notice here is that I believe the Engineer, an older man, is looking back out of the fireman's window, probably just kicked on the injector. I also think that may be the fireman who is looking back out of the baggage door, having helped load passenger baggage inside the car. The Brakeman is flagging the train out of sight, and the Conductor is busy with the passengers boarding. This conveys a congenial attitude among the crew, all doing their part and a little extra to keep on schedule.

This is exactly how I remember the C&S crews most of the time as a kid through Boulder many years later.  

Great find, Jim!
