Interesting. I wonder when and about the color of the car and at the dress style of the ladies.

When is a good question and that car is certainly interesting; I'm not seeing any ladies; just kids.

OK. My eyes. Got a magnifying glass to look. Think you are right.

Not a problem; I have a big monitor and it's set at 133%.

There's a man who worked hard his entire life. That li'l ride he's giving those goats (lambs?) was probably one of the few times he had fun, which I interpret from his authentic smile.
However, I wonder of the goats are on their way to their slaughter (?)

Goats, yes.

Slaughter, maybe, but more likely to join the herd to grow up and produce milk and more goats.

I'm glad you posted.I couldn't tell what was in the wheelbarrow.

That wheelbarrow looks like one my grandfather had. Except for the wheel and axle he built it himself.
It was used mainly to move coal from street level up a slight incline where it was shoveled through a
window into a coal bin in the basement next to the furnace. When he died the furnace was converted
to gas. The wheelbarrow was still there 30 years after he died.

#55 looks like a McKeen car.

#55 looks like a McKeen car.

Well, probably not, but I can see that might be a good thought with the center lowered entrance. No port holes and the front is not a "wind splitter". Also the drive truck does not resemblance to McKeen's But it probably is some brand and model of a doodlebug. More than a bit odd though/interesting.

[J. S. Bach]

Not all McKeens had porthole windows.

Interesting. side rods, too. If that was a Mckeen car then perhaps the drive was replaced? Does not have the look of McKeen.

Re Railcar

from https://www.american-rails.com/acy.html

AC&Y's Passenger Services
The Akron, Canton & Youngstown's modest passenger services between Akron and Mogadore began in November of 1918 using a unique, internal-combustion rail car from the McKeen Motor Car Company. For a year, between 1921 and 1922, the railroad even provided commuter service to the northwest side of Akron at the small suburb of Copley. After taking over the Northern Ohio Railway service was extended to Delphos. The year 1921 also marked peak ridership of 43,601 patrons. As Eric Hirsimaki's article, "Mixed Train Farewell," from the April, 1983 issue of Trains Magazine notes, in the final years the AC&Y provided mixed train service as #90 (eastbound) and #95 (westbound). They were so lightly utilized in the postwar period that in 1950, of the $4.8 million gross revenues the railroad earned, just $975 were ticket sales! Obviously, not a money-making venture, the railroad petitioned the Public Utilities Commission in 1951 to discontinue these trains. The move was approved the final runs occurred on July 20th that same year.

Cool! Wonder if it was remotored and the trucks were then changed, too?

It might be a GE motor car?

They built a total of about 90 "doodlebugs" before dropping the products to focus on electric locomotives.
