It was burning coal when this picture was taken, its sister in steam was numbered 8444 because 844 was a GP30. This photo was taken somewhere out west, the event was a big deal.

Chris Chris, You are certainly right about that structure behind the tree, if it was not behind the tree, that structure would be a dead give-away to where this photo was taken. Some other steamers were at this place for an event that again was a big deal.

Chad, You should have spoken-up. Although the year would have been wrong, the location would have been right-on.
