Any idea where & what this is?

I came across this photo tonight in a group that I acquired last year. It is on a page of snapshots of US soldiers at a camp somewhere in the desert of the southwest US. Any idea where it could be?
The photo shows a soldier playing on a somewhat decrepit and mostly derailed 0-4-2T locomotive. Givein its size, I am guessing that it is narrow gauge.
A blow up of the herald on the tender, I believe that it says "TOBIN" but am not sure.
If it helps the photo appears to be circa 1915.
Thanks
