Playing with the contrast, the numbers "20xx" seem to appear on the tender,
in which case it is a R-4 or R-5.

Charlie - From the tender, could be a R Class engine. I fully agree, it's
Thayer, Iowa.

Rupert and all-

The third of the Thayer wreck postcards with the steam crane lifting
carcasses into a gondola confirms it was Thayer, IA..the locomotive in the
photo (haven't tried to determine the number or class) is most definitely a
Q engine.   Unless the Q came in on another railroad to clean up its cars in
the wreck (highly unlikely) it is Thayer IA on the CB&Q.
