As small as the picture displays....it's difficult to even see that it is a steam engine

Help in Identifying Steam Locomotive

I use Webshots for my background and screen-saver, and came across the following picture...

http://thumb14.webshots.net/s/thumb2/0/84/22/1508422tfqmlMddfC_th.jpg

Not having heard of the A&TP I tried doing a web search - evidently no one has heard of this line because I couldn't find anything relevant.  Can anyone tell me what A&TP stands for, and perhaps a bit of history behind this Pacific locomotive?

Thanks!
