This is a great early rail photo. Wonderful detail is visible on both side and end of the car, along with the lettering. The mill in the background is pretty interesting, too.

Cool photo Dave. Didn't see a date but there is very little development.

The car has air brakes, but not the full set of safety appliances. So I think that makes it before 1906. It's a classic late 19th century boxcar, right in my modeling period!

Looks like the 16370 painter was sampling the product.
