This is scanned from a copy negative in the SVRR Archive that doesn't have any caption info with it. We are looking at Sumpter Valley Ry. caboose #6 and probably the train's conductor. The presence of the hog fuel car in front of the caboose clues us in that this shot could be anytime from 1939 to the end of operation in 1947. Caboose #6 is still with us and is a future restoration project at SVRR.
