steam_002 is NYC (a Mike downgraded to switching service) shoving a consist to
LaSalle Street around 36-37th Street in Chicago on the NYC/RI tracks. The
Armour Institute/IIT Main Hall is in the background behind the power plant
stack. I don't recall the date of the fire that destroyed the south peak of
the building (where the IIT Model Railroad Club layout is) but I'd guess the
shot is pre WWII.
motor_844 looks a little like some of the Canadian interurbans maybe???
steam_001 is Southern.. don't know the location.
steam_004 looks like a B&A 4-6-4T but I'm not familiar enough with Boston or
other skylines on the east coast to ID the location.
steam_ 15 is a CNJ 0-6-0 but I can't vouch for the number or the owner at the
time of the photo.

The fourth one down looks like a Boston & Albany engine; where, I don't know.
By the way, you have a great web-site.

Subject: [CBQ] Offtopic (slightly): Identification of railroad photos...
I've collected a few photos over the past few years that I've been unable to
identify, so I'm hoping that someone here will be able to identify some of
these.
Here are the photos:
Unknown identification of motor

I don't recall where I got this one...you can see "railroad" on the side, but
that's about it

Just a side note to this...I went out to get on alt.railroads to post
this...only to find that alt.railroads is pretty much defunct! Guess the
Usenet
finally DID disappear... :\ For those of you who think the previous sentence
is
gibberish...just ignore. :)
Please respond privately so as to not bother the rest of the group.
Cheers!
