Description

Negative for photo TP17706. According to "A Railroad Transplant, The Sierra Railway Company of California" by Richard Rosenquist dated 1988 this car doesn't fit any of his descriptions of the Sierra RR cars. Cars 2 and 3 were the only full passenger cars. #2 was sold in 1925. BUT this car is clearly labeled #2. The date of this photo isn't known with certainty but I believe it to be in the 1950 to 1960's. Plus or minus a decade. Definitely not a 1920's photo. The car has been painted for a movie, note the wood on the tender. These are oil burning engines! So this may be car #3 in disguise.
