I assumed the photo was taken on the RGS as the photo was from the Bertha Hester collection. Bertha was married to Walter Virden, engineer on the RGS. I recollect that there were several cabooses converted from box cars in the relam of 1918. But the date is from my memory bank which is being depleted by age.
