I believe that the photo dates to 1888, the same paint job being on this or a twin ticket wagon in a set taken in 1888 near Chicago. The B&B ticket wagons were swapped with a pair from Buffalo Bill's Wild West when B&B went to Europe in late 1897. The B&B wagons were tall, perhaps too much so for the European railroads. They served on BBWW and one of them ended up on the Miller Bros. & Arlington 101 Ranch and was lost in a RR wreck.
