Thanks Andy, A+ for you today!

Here's another I came across on the NYPL archive, I think someone recently posted something about steamers like this one, they look like boxcabs but you can tell it has a boiler because the front looks like it protrudes a little bit.

View from the back of that thing?

Rich,

  What you have there is geared steam locomotive (probably a Shay, like those at Cass, WV), normally used on logging railroads, seen here covered by shrouding to not scare the horses.
