All

In addition, it appears that the engine has just cut off the head end of the train it was assisting.  

Neat image!!!

Dave:

I would agree with Louis on all counts.  It is definitely a D-4-A.

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 Regards - Louis

Hi All,

 

The attached image was recently posted in a group on Facebook and I was wondering if anyone might have an idea as to the identoty of the locomotive shown.
