I was too little to know much about those things. All I can really say is that some of that "stuff" sitting by the right of way behind that bucket belonged to people heading to Onawa, and would be loaded into the baggage car for transport. This included gasoline and oil for motor boats. Onawa was next to Onawa Lake, which is why people came here in the summer.
Sorry I don't know more. Maybe Stewart recognizes it as something that was used on the WW&F.
