Barriger Photo NG Mysteries - 1

That Barriger Collection is neat to explore, but most of the photos are unlabeled as to location, and some of them are flopped. So I'll post a couple starting here that some of the group might help with.

This first one (Barriger DRG 135) says generally Santa Fe Branch, but it looks like a tenwheeler on the train, and not the normal K-28s of the later years - which would make this photo a little older than the other Santa Fe branch shots taken.

And then this second shot (Barriger DRG 154) has been captioned Embudo, but I don't see the water tank and turntable. I assume the station is the main building in the scene, with the river stone fireplace, but before it was stone-clad by the agent? Which would again make it earlier than the other regular Barriger photos. Again, some of the photos being flopped, and not knowing which ones, can make location ID difficult.

I'll post a couple other locations later, keeping them separate so that answers don't get mixed up.

Cheers all,
