While Union Jacks are flying on the upper left and right, the lower right seems to be showing a Red Ensign and on the lower right is a flag that has yet to be properly identified but which may lend a clue to solving who's train this is. Looking carefully you will see it appears to be a Union Jack either with no St. Andrew's flag or with a drastically lighter blue for the St. Andrew's component.

That is the description as delivered however, there is a discussion thread here:
about the discrepancies between the photo and the description.
Can this possibly be a HAROLD Jenkins photo if indeed it is a 1901 photo?? It seems that Jenkins marked all his photos whether taken or collected with his name so this might be the case.
- 1901 - The Duke & Duchess of Cornwall & York (later King George V and Queen Mary) - October. Halifax, Amherst.
- 1906 - Prince Arthur of Connaught - 28 April to 29 April. Halifax. VIsited Royal Artillery Park.
- 1911 - Princess Patricia of Connaught - Halifax.
- 1912 - Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught with Princess Luise, Duchess of Connaught and their daughter Princess Patricia. Prince Arthur installed as Governor General at Quebec City. Prince Arthur unveils Sir Sanford Fleming Park (Dingle Tower) memorial in Halifax. 01 August to 17 August.

- 1913 - Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught with Princess Luise, Duchess of Connaught and their daughter Princess Patricia left Halifax on the Empress of Britain for Liverpool - March 22.
- 1913 - Prince Albert (later King George VI), Halifax, May 24th. Prince Albert arrived on the cruiser, Cumberland. He drove through the streets of Halifax with Commander Smith and Captain Hicks, Aide de Campe to Lieutenant Governor McGregor. He attended an "at home" and dance at Government House.
- 1919 - Prince Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII and Duke of Windsor after his abdication in 1936) - 17 August to 18 August. Arrived on HMS Dragon.
While Union Jacks are flying on the upper left and right, the lower right seems to be showing a Red Ensign and on the lower right is a flag that has yet to be properly identified but which may lend a clue to solving who's train this is. Looking carefully you will see it appears to be a Union Jack either with no St. Andrew's flag or with a drastically lighter blue for the St. Andrew's component. Could this be as this article indicates a Union Flag of Great Britain and Ireland?
