Rick - I've attached a copy of the same image of No. 4200 at the time it was working the Galesburg Hump.  However, my digital copy is undated and a little bit blurry.  Do you have a date, plus a higher rez scan than mine that you can share with us? I'd sure appreciate having a sharper/clearer view of No 4200 at Galesburg.  Much appreciate your contributions to this Group.  Best Regards - Louis

Yes Rupert, my father's photo is the same as yours right down to the added text along the bottom of the photo.
On the back of the photo is written details about the engine as follows:
Baldwin-built in 1911 - shop # 36775
Retired August, 1934
Weight 448,000 lbs on drivers, boiler pressure of 200 PSI, tractive force of 93,000 lbs.
Original water injection system was later modified and engine eventually converted to burn oil.
Originally used in Galesburg yards; last days of service were on western divisions around Alliance, NE
