All-
1451 was built by Baldwin as D-1 #451 in 1884. It was renumbered in 1898 to 1451. Sometime between 1901 and 1903 it was rebuilt into an 0-6-0 by removing the rear driver and lead truck. It, as the photo shows, had been used as a switcher previous to the rebuilding and the tank had been cut down to a slope back at some point.

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?
