NORM:

That photo is taken at Sunrise, Wyoming at the site of the iron mine.

The locomotive is Colorado & Wyoming (owned by CF&I) locomotive number 102.   It was an ex-UP 4-4-0, built by Brooks Locomotive Works in 1888.   

According to McKenzie’s book MOUNTAIN TO MILL, it was purchased for the C&W in 1901 by the C&S  to take over switching operations at Hartville Junction in order to replace a C&S locomotive in use at that point.

Checking a UP roster, there were at least three 4-4-0s sold to the C&S (UP numbers 649, 651 and 781) in 1901 and 1902.  

Ex-UP number 781 was sold to C&S in April of 1901, and it was the only one built by Brooks.

The locomotive in the photograph is probably the ex-UP 781, but never say never.

Brian-

Doesn’t have much of a “Q” feel to anything in the photo.  Looks like the tender is lettered in block lettering…might be C&NW???

Note that car 300 has a headlight mounted on one end.

One more photos I am trying to identify.  This one is from Wyoming but unsure if it was on the line that ran from Guernsey to the Sunrise mine or if it was used during the construction of the Guernsey Dam or the new rail line to Wendover.  Wondering if this is a CB&Q or C&S engine.  Engine number looks to be 102 or 103.

Thanks,
Brian
