| Notes: | This negative was probably photographed by Watkins and acquired by Taber before it could be published by Watkins. Taber published it with no number and just a generic title, while Watkins titles were very specific.The rail car in the image is Virginia & Truckee baggage and express car number 16. It was delivered to V&T at the end of 1874 so the photo is likely 1875 or later. According to Palmquist's chronology Watkins took the Virginia City views from 1873-1876. Watkins's negatives were acquired by Taber by 1875. This exact rail car is restored in the Calif State Rail Museum. CSRM - V&T car #16 |
