Dave Wrote: 1- The image is almost definitely 1882-1884--the engines all have Congdon stacks and passenger cars lettered appropriately for the period--the excursion car is lettered for the Colorado Central, not Union Pacific.

Thanks Dave:
I noted the "new" Colorado Central Observation car in the Pict. Supt. were listed by Maxwell as 1883 built,edited out memory glitch in date. The Pitkin image(in the Pict. Supt.) (also printed with greater clarity in Dow Helmers Historic Alpine Tunnel), calls out the date as 6th Sept. 1885, and shows one of the "short end siding" cars.  Just which version, we'll never know eh!




But if you lack one of the CC cars; use a Boxcar, replete with someone in the doorway.
