The 6th man from the left (beard) is James J. Hill President of Great Northern Railway who died in 1916, and the building looks like the Saint Paul Minnesota Union Depot

I like this photo, I only wish the signature were somewhere else less visible.

Interesting example of a preserved (and restored) machine in the early 20th century: a wood-burning 1861 steam locomotive, ca. 1915.

According to a New York Times article in 1914 Carl R. Gray resigned as president of the Great Northern Railroad to go to the Western Maryland Railroad. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A01E2DC1E39E633A... James J. Hill was the founder of the Great Northern. So the photo was probably taken between 1912 when Gray became president of the railroad and 1914 when he resigned. www.greatnorthernempire.net/index2.htm?GNEGNTimeline.htm
