Chris - of course it has a lot of features like 306 - because we know better what 306 looked like than 310 . But if 306 and 310 are sisters as seems to be the case then it is possible - even likely - this car was either 306 or 310. Please provide a photo of 310 that proves otherwise.

I didn't call it a Monkeys Tail nor did I say it was a part of either car. Why it was there is inexplicable - if it was a hose. There were 6 men in the photo. The object could have been hung off of either car to get it out of hand while the photo was being taken  - or any other reason. The angle of the camera makes it difficult to say the object actually formed a perfect circle.

Human beings have a tendency to interpret what they see by what they pre-see. Oh, it has to be a wheel. You are looking at a 2 dimensional image.

That being said and knowing this is a composite of two photos we probably are looking at something from a double image. But what? It ain't part of the caboose...

We can't see the image without BV because the image is a print from two negatives we don't have.
