Lol, I am railroader, not a photographer.We have not time to look at the sun or shadows. I will leave that to you photogs

Well, Phil, but that’s what mathematics is for

One can deduce time of day based on the sun angle and, date, and length of the shadows with reasonable accuracy. (Also depends on location too)

That looks a high noon sun… so approx 12-1 PM. The shadows are very very short.

Too bad the time of day when the photo was taken is not recorded. Then you would know exactly what train it was

Based on the lighting I’d say 73.

Looks like either 73 or 75 by the size
