Hart stereoview of a Pullman Palace Dining Car, with building supplies and other equipment in the foreground

Have not seen this Hart stereoview of a Pullman Palace Dining Car before. Can anyone say where this Hart view was taken, the date, or identify the structure and construction materials in the foreground?

Woolaver & Wilkinson - CP shops designers

From: KyleKWyatt@gmail.com

Attached is a summary of info I found on Woolaver and Wilkinson, original designers of the CP Sacramento Shops in 1867. Woolaver appears to have been an architect, while Wilkinson was an engineer.

Attached is a summary of what I found, but I'm not very good at geneology. Perhaps someone else can help fill in birth and death dates, and other pertinent facts.

Apparently Woolaver died in Sacramento, I'm guessing late 1860s or early 1870s. Wilkinson continued working for the railroad, apparently in the San Francisco office in 1901.

Iowa Pacific Railroad Company, 1874 bond

From: "Charlene D'Onofrio" cfdon@hotmail.com

I have a bond for The Iowa Pacific Railroad Company in the amount of 200 pounds, issued in 1874 by a London England firm. My question is what is or was the railroad. Where can I find more info on the railroad. I am a 5th grade teacher and it would be interesting to discuss this with my students. The bond was found in my deceased friend's house. Any info will be greatly appreciated.
