Near as we can tell the cinder cone came along in early 1912. Also No. 21 has the pneumatic sanding lines  - advent 1910 (near as we can tell). I cannot tell if the lamp is electric but would bet that it was because the Colorado PUC required it to be electric in early 1912. The 1911 ICC laws required a steal pilot beam; it took a few years for beams to show up on all the engines so I would put the date of this photo around 1915 - but that is just my humble "guess".

(Absolutely marvelous - what you can tell from the details...)
