This photo was taken at South Baker on the Sumpter Valley Ry. I am not sure what the photographer found especially interesting, but if there is anyone out there modeling the Sumpter Valley, there are some good lumber car details. The railroad had quite a few lumber flats that were 36' and 7'6" wide, so not really anything to put a car number to this one. Note that it has Bettendorf trucks and this is located on dual gauge track system. The scan is from the SVRR Archive.
