Weldon:
The standard power on trains 151-152 between Holdrege, Sterling and Cheyenne at the time of this photo was class K-2 4-6-0s, and that's certainly what this locomotive appears to be, though the number is not legible on the front number plate. This was
a Sterling Division run, and as of Sept. 1, 1914 (the closest assignment sheet I have to the 1915 date of the photo), there were four K-2s assigned to the division: 634, 653, 667 and 669. Of these the 669 c an be eliminated, as it was the last of the K-2s
built and was equipped experimentally with wagon-top boiler and looked considerably different than the other K-2s.
Hope this is of some help.

Subject: [CBQ] identify locomotive
This photo is a locomotive on the Holdrege-Sterling line, west of Farnam, NE taken on February 7, 1915. Is it possible to identify the locomotive from this picture and/or the date and location of service? I have companion photos of the snow plow that opened
this cut in the snowdrift if anyone is interested.
