William Henry Jackson - Photographing the Loop
He was using Colorado Central No. 4 2-6-0 Mogul Porter Bell and D.S.P & P. Business Car No. 50 as his darkroom.
It just so happen the Local Photographer Alexander Martin caught a similar image on the same day in 1884.

Alexander Martin was born in Scotland and was active in Colorado as a photographer from approximately 1874-1901. He operated photography galleries in various Colorado towns, including Boulder, Central City, Georgetown, and Denver.
