The pile driver number is 204600, which makes it the very first in the 2046xx series of pile drivers. The boiler in the foreground is likely for steam pumps.

Group - We haven't had any Company Service Equipment posts in a while. Does
any one have details on the attached image of the "baby" steam pile driver
from, I'd guess, the early 1900s or just prior? Cute little critter..... That's
a Class A 4-4-0 coupled to it with the engine crew at rest despite the
banging and hissing coming from the pile driver. I can't quite make out the
locomotive's road number on the tender nor the complete equipment number on the
pile driver. Any ideas on what the donkey boiler in the foreground might've been
used for? Best Regards - Louis
