I found this excelent steam era photograph from the Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad at My Link page Yetseryear Depot.Com, located to the right of Your computer screen at www.yesteryeardepot.com

Photographer Paul Eilenburger took this photo at an unspecified date and location.

The locomotive, is a rebuilt and modernized Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad E class 4-6-2 Pacific type steam locomotive used in passenger train service. The reporting marks or initials on the locomotive cab, are for the Chicago & NorthWestern's own subsidiary railroad Chicago, Minneapolis, Saint Paul & Omaha.

When the C&NW began converting from steam to diesel power during the late 1940's to mid 1950's era, several of these 4-6-2 passenger locomotives, would roll out their last miles in revenue service pulling freight trains.
