WHC was a 40-year member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. It is not known whether he engineered this locomotive or was the fireman. The identity of the man on the left is unknown. Wouldn't you love to hear this great engine at work pulling a train out of the station? Wikipedia says the 2-8-0 "Consolidation" engine was known for "moving 'impressive loads at unimpressive speeds'"!
