I recently purchased this photo from a vendor on eBay:



I purchased it thinking I'd found a photo of Shawnee Tank, with a glimpse of the Shawnee depot in the background.  I thought "Platte Canon", because of RPO-Coach 43 behind the engine.  The RPO-Coaches were often used on the Denver-Leadville passenger.

But when it arrived and I could really examine it, I don't think it's Shawnee -- Shawnee depot had a hip roof, not a gabled one as this distant structure has.

And there is something odd about the train as well.  Road engine is B-4-D number 67, odd for the Leadville passenger train. And the RPO-Coaches were usually used with one of the express-baggage cars 1-4, not usually alone.

An earlier McClure view of the Denver bound passenger stopped at Shawnee, c1910, with baggage 1 or 2 and one of the RPO-Coaches:



So anyone know where the top photo was taken?
