builders photo. Newspaper articles about opening day, Sunday June 25, 1899,
mention the cars, and that they came from St Louis, but fail to indicate
that they are double truck. Since this photo shows a car numbered 1, its
probably safe to assume this was the first group of cars. I'd guess this
builders photo was taken a few days before June 25th, 1899, as the cars
arrived on Saturday and service started Sunday. Therefore, the date of
the photo is probably somewhere between June 15 and 22, 1899.
