The locomotive shown here features a long boiler, dual steam domes, external piping, and substantial running gear, with the tender coupled behind and yard rolling stock visible in the background. Track lines in the foreground and industrial structures beyond situate the engine within an active terminal environment characteristic of St Louis as a major rail hub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"933\" data-end=\"1221\"\u003eThe print presents clear mechanical detail along the drivers, side rods, and pilot assembly, with tonal contrast typical of mid-century railroad photography. Dimensions measure 3.5 x 5.75 inches, offering a compact original railroad image suitable for specialized steam-era collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1223\" data-end=\"1514\"\u003eThe item shown in the listing is the exact item the collector will receive.
