Caption: As a second example of the astonishing level of detail in the Archibald Murchie glass negative of Keefers recently posted (http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=54515), consider this extreme crop to another group of cars near the depot.

Probably stored tipped to avoid accumulating precipitation, those side-dump cars are something never seen before, simple predecessors of the air-dumps common today.

The nine people facing the camera are likely a significant part of the population of Keefers, which was probably still known as Keefer’s in those days.
