20 Mule Team unloading at railroad in Daggett, California

From: "James Lingren" jlingren@earthlink.net

I'm trying to date a photograph and need to know what year the Atlantic and Pacific RR (or it may have been ATSF) double tracked through Daggett CA. "No. 46. '20 Mule Team unloading at railroad in Daggett, Cal., after its long trip across the desert.' "

I believe the telegraph pole was used in a lynching.

Obviously the photograph is faked and or staged. The ore coming from Death Valley would have required a gondola car.
