I bet not many of you have seen this photo. I found this in one of those dreaded "coffee table books." It can be found on page 219 of "The Age of Steam" by Lucius Beebe and Charles Clegg. The photo was taken February of 1946.
It is difficult to see the number on the locomotive on this scan because I had to reduce the size so much but it is 453. You can even see part of the doghouse above the cab and to the right of the brake wheel on the first car.
