Art,

 

I would agree that this photo is indeed taken in Burlington, just north of the depot.  When comparing the buildings behind the locomotive to the buildings pointed to in the attached postcard and more recent photo, there is no mistake that this was taken towards the west, across the park-like depot grounds, across Main Street and looking up Division Street.  In the more modern photo, there have been modifications made to the Main Street Tap building, but the number of windows and height are consistent.  The high area in the background would be South Hill Park.

and renumbered 1348, unknown when scrapped.
