I bought this a while ago on eBay but just got up to scanning it. It came as the original 5x7 negative and a 4x6 print. I scanned the print on a flatbed scanner and used a light table and camera to digitize the negative (my old flatbed scanner that can scan negatives died a while ago). The negative provided a little more detail than the print, but the best thing about the original negative is that it wasn't cropped. The print was pretty much full frame, but didn't include the slice of a boxcar at the right, and more importantly didn't include the writing on the top. The negative included a space to write a description, and it has some details. They include the month, year, and photographer. I assume Mac poor wrote this himself, but this is the only time I've seen him use his full name of Meredith Clarence Poor. All of the photo prints I have that he made himself are stamped M. C. Poor, and I've only seen him go by M. C. or Mac.
Here's the full photo from the negative:
