William Leach, Harry Leach's father, and a machinist in the shops sits on the cowcatcher. Harry Leach remembers that before he started school at age seven he used to take his father's lunch over to the railway yard each day. Other local people in the picture are Fred Skinrer, standing in the center at the bottom and William Harper, standing up on the side of the engine with his arms folded and wearing a wide brimmed hat. Harper was the hostler who drove the engines in the yard. The rest of the men were Italians who worked on the coal.
