Hol - I enlarged the image and it looks to me the road number on the side of the cab is 2937. If accurate, it was a Class S-2-A 4-6-2 type. According to the Corbin book, the locomotive was built by Baldwin as a Class S-2 locomotive in 1910, converted to Class S-2-A in 1924 and sold for scrap in May 1951. Wonder if the round house gang found any cat fish in the firebox.... Best Regards - Louis

I went looking in the Barriger collection and found the image of the wrecked Pacific set out at Fort Madison -- on the first page of Santa Fe photos.

The attached image is being used  on eBay to illustrate a large group of press photos of railroad derailments and collisions now being offered for sale, with a starting bid of $150.  I immediately recognized it as a Q shot and began wondering where and when it might have been taken.  Finally I inquired of the seller as to what information might be on the back of the print and got this reply:
 
The image caption reads:  "Fort Madison, Iowa. -- The wreckage of a locomotive and tender of a Burlington train which a 300-foot landslide rolled into the Mississippi River near here.  The engineer and fireman, who were carried with the engine, swam out, unhurt.  9-18-35.
 
I recall an image from the J.W. Barriger III collection that might possibly be the same locomotive sitting in Fort Madison after being hauled out of the river, but it was misfiled under Santa Fe and I don't have a copy of it.
