Subject: [CBQ] Engine number mystery [1 Attachment]

Greetings all! 

I picked this attached photo up on Ebay a few weeks ago. It was originally from the George Niles Jr. collection.  He was a resident of Des Moines but I am 99% certain this is the Creston turntable. 

The question I have is the actual number of the locomotive and its history. I am pretty sure this is #4962 but I can't find that number in any of my references. 

Any help would be appreciated! 

Thanks,
