Wow, thanks, Chris!

Proves two things and helps with a third.

First, proves that the mail car was not turned at Leadville, they left the baggage end "westward" that day, assuming the date is actually the same.

Second, proves that as I suggested, #13 was at least occasionally not used after 1931. Only one of the UP cars could have been substituted.

Third, this may help identify when #13 was out of service to repair it's sagging roof, which was repaired after 1931.

Can anyone make out which of the UP cars this is?

Great work, Chris. Thanks. I'd be pretty surprised if you can find many more of those UP cars in the consist, but I've been wrong plenty of times before.
