odd photo

Yes, according to the on-line data sheets, it was the lowest numbered  Z1b. 
 However, it was not the first converted; I quickly found one done a  few 
months earlier.

So, unless Ed has something else in mind, that may well be the  answer...?

The only thing I know about it is that  it was possibly the lowest numbered

As a sidelight,  the 1331 was a significant Z-1b.  Anybody know  why?

More  interesting, is if the photo is truly an original taken by  Prince.

I've been intrigued by this Library  of Virginia entry about the "Richard 
E. Prince Jr. Railway Photograph  Collection." It contains approx. 1,600 3.5 
x 5 inch negatives, approx. 450  “116″ (2 x 4 inch) negatives, 49 5 x 7 
inch silver emulsion glass-plate  negatives. "The collection is arranged in 
three series. Series A represents  numerical index 1 through 642, and are 
arranged in order of engine number,  lowest to highest, subcategorized under the 
proper name of each railroad line.  Almost all images in Series A predate 
1940. Series B is similarly arranged,  containing approximately 1,600 images 
dated between 1937 and 1948, and  contains copy film of existing photographs 
not taken by Prince. The  glass-plate negatives constitute Series C and are 
arranged in order of engine  number, lowest to highest, and date from 
approximately 1907 to 1926. The  Library holds a detailed though incomplete 
paper-based finding aid."

The images have not been digitized, so are  not available online. See
