Promontory Champagne Photo

From: "Kyle Wyatt" kylekwyatt@gmail.com

I am trying to identify as many people as possible in the famous Promontory "champagne" photo, in preparation for an article in an upcoming Trains Magazine issue. Attached is the National Parks guide to the people in the photo, with a couple of additions. Per the attached cropped photos, I am also trying to figure out who is with James Strobridge in the photo. My initial thought is that it might be the Casement brothers (the most logical Union Pacific counterpart to the Central Pacific's Strobridge) - but I have never seen any photos of the Casements without beards.

Thanks for any help you can give.
