Harold - Being far, far away in South Alabama, I'm not familiar with
the person in Gillette, WY, who has the Wyoming Railway collection. In fact,
the last time I was in Wyoming would've been in the early 1950s when Dad was
trainmaster at Casper. Earlier, Dad had earlier been
transportation inspector at Casper and had photographed
the rotary plow trains during the Great Blizzard of
1949.
With collections of old locomotive photographs, such photographs were
often printed in multiples and widely exchanged with other collectors. I
would suppose that might be the story of the Wyoming Railway No. 103 image
that turned-up on the Internet. Such Wyoming Railway photographs must
be very rare as this one is only the fourth I've ever seen, all being from
the Internet.
Some photograph collectors I've met over my nearly 60 years as a rail
fan have been generous with sharing, some have not. Plus, the Internet has
muddied things in that so many photographs were traded around years ago
that in many instances duplicates abound today on line. Personally, I've
always been happy to share as I enjoy helping others learn about the Q. Best
Regards - Louis

Ken - Much appreciate you identifying Wyoming Railway No. 103 as
ex-Q No. 1162. Isn't this a wonderful Group when it comes to identifying
old photographs!
Thanks for letting me know off-List that the Wyoming Railway had
three ex-Q 2-6-0s, No. 103; ex-1162; No. 104, ex-1151; and No. 105,
ex-1175. This is new to me.
Does anyone have images of No. 104 and No. 105? Since I have the
image of No. 103, I'd like to see what the other two looked like while
operating on the plains of Wyoming. Best Regards - Louis

Louis,
At the meet in Billings in 2013 Bill Tulley gave a clinic on the
Wyoming railroad. He identified 103 as ex-Q 1162 which would be an H-2
built by Pittsburg in 1898.

Group - Can anyone tell me what Class H locomotive this
is?
The 2-6-0 is numbered 103, it's lettered for the Wyoming
Railway, the location is UCross, WY and the date is August 23,
1947. This locomotive looks to me to be a Class H-3.
The "hulk" of Class H-2 No. 1175 that was Wyoming Railway No.
105 is on display in Buffalo, WY. I'm unable to find any information
on other Q locomotives sold to the Wyoming Railway.
The Corbin book roster doesn't show any Class H locomotive
sales to the Wyoming Railway. I'd appreciate knowing what Q 2-6-0
become WRy 103. Best Regards - Louis
