I hope I’m not redundant with this post. Before starting it, I queried the Archive and found one Thread Title discussing the “Girls in the Train” photo shoot:

Page 76 WWW Bk

Back then, the picture you found was too small to be readable. Fortunately, you can find that issue of TV Guide with a BIG picture of it today on Ebay:

Can you imagine how many trivia questions you can make from this photo?!

Here’s a mystery – the photo caption identifies the girl in the left-center area as Darien Daniels. IMDB has a listing for this name, but not with ‘TWWW’. I’m 99% certain that she was part of Hannibal Egloff’s harem in ‘TNOT of the Samurai’, but she had a different name in the closing credits.

For posterity, I saved the pic on my computer and here’s the article verbatim:

IT BEATS KISSING YOUR HORSE

The Wild Wild West is not, mind you, your run-of-the-stage-line oater. It’s distinguished by having weirdo baddies, incredible gimmicks and thoroughly Bonded story lines. Another thing it’s got is girls. Whole sloshes of them. It seems that Messrs. Gordon and West (played by Ross Martin and Bob Conrad, l. to r.) always end up each episode back in that railroad car with a pair of cuties and at least a jeroboam of Cordon Bleu 1859. The above mentioned gents can be seen with an indicative host of representative sweets, ranging from mean nasty villainesses through Aztec princesses, girl friends of the ungodly, right on to one who portrayed the “enslaved girl friend of a mad subterranean nut.” Good or bad, quelled or saved, they usually end up with West and Gordon – in that trusty old railroad car which you also see over there.

The girls are (seated, l. to r.) Grace Gaynor, Anna Capri, Maggie Thrett; (middle) Darien Daniels, Marie Gomez, Brioni Farrell, Toian Matchinga and (top) Carla Borelli and Miiko Taka.
