Peter,

 

Would you be able to scan this at the highest resolution you scanner will do and send it to me via WeTransfer.com?  At the resolution in this email, I tried to enlarge it, but it is too pixelated to see details.   I would be happy to clean the image and restore it for you.  To use WeTransfer, from a browser, go to WeTransfer.com and choose the Free option.  Then select the file to send, enter both your and my emails and hit send.  It is that easy!

Subject: [CBQ] Information on Engine in Monmouth, IL

 

I uncovered this photograph of my Great Grandpa working in Monmouth, IL at what I assume is the pottery (please correct if I am mistaken). The tender is #1451. However, the engine seems to be a 0-8-0, not a 0-6-0 if the engine was #1451. It sure looks to me like there are 8 drive wheels (the front wheels obscured by the drivers).

Is that a USRA tender? 

Does anyone have a reasonable idea of what class the engine is or even what number it could be?
