“WHEEL STICK” QUESTION’S ANSWER IS HERE
Courtesy of Don Strack, we now know what a “wheel-stick” is used for. Thanks Don!
Railroad photographers did not just wander around the property taking snapshots of the employees. If so, why then was this photograph taken? My guess is it is part of the Railroad’s investigation of an insurance claim case. Many of the most rare and valuable pictures in Bob Darwin’s great book “Cheyenne” are made from UPRR photographs taken as part of such investigations.
