Saw it and looked it up in Conrad's Steam Locomotive Directory of North America. It and it's two sisters are standard gauge 0-4-4 rear tank engines of about 22 tons weight built in 1886. The picture also shows that it is missing it's rods, cab, any appliances and is a lapseam boiler. It is also leaking the dreaded "A" word from around the cylinders.
