Dave - With the slightly canted cylinders and dome arrangement, looks
like a Class D-4-A 2-8-0 type in use as a helper engine on West Burlington
Hill. The headlight is unusual, along with the stubby stack. But, the roll
back tender almost certainly means it's a Q locomotive. It appears the head
and back-up light are the same type and not the standard Q "box" headlight.
This may be a case where the Q was trying out another kind/type of headlight
as mentioned in a previous thread about the different kinds of headlights used
over the years. This is an early image of a Class D-4-A in service. Best
