Anyone notice the Adams Express Co. wagan making a delivery?

From Wikipedia... "The Adams Express Co. held a strong position from New England and the mid-Atlantic coast to the far Western plains. Its stock holdings were enormous. In 1910, it was the second largest stockholder in the Pennsylvania Railroad and the third largest in the New Haven Railroad. besides owning large blocks of American Express, Norfolk and Western Railroad and other shares. Its antebellum employment of Allan Pinkerton to solve its robbery problems was a large factor in building up the noted Pinkerton National Detective Agency. Along with the other expresses, its shipping interests were merged by the government into the American Railway Express Company, which later became the Railway Express Agency."

The driver is amused by the photographer. Looks like a package from a place in Netcong on the baggage cart. Wish we had an image of the train they were preparing for!
