I just got around to looking at this photo. I started my railroad career at Coffeyville, KS in 1978. There are no ifs, ands or buts. This is definitely Coffeyville. Just looking at the details, this was taken real close to the time I was hired. It’s a wonder that my car is not sitting in the parking lot.
The green car is parked in front of the yardmaster’s office. Notice the big windows and the shade canopy. The orange company pickup was assigned to the supply man. This employee supplied cabooses and locomotives. I can tell a few stories concerning the shenanigans that went on with that job.
