Thank you. Chuck. I can hardly believe how knowledgeable you guys are. Very helpful information.
Thanks,

Wow, that was fast! Thanks Will. You are much appreciated.
For reference - spotting features for camelback locos seen from the (almost) front:
The loco in the photo has a narrow firebox and the cab at the rear of the boiler, with the tender close behind the rear of the cab. Definitely not an anthracite burner; and Ohio isn't anthracite country.

Hello. I am hoping someone can help me identify this old steam locomotive # 1311. Any information would be helpful. I think it is a camelback with a wooten firebox - but I really don't know anything about trains. The only help I can give is that the postcard has a Station A Cleveland Ohio cancel and is postmarked April 23, 1910. There is a B. D. scratched into the negative, but maybe that was supposed to be B. O.
Thank you for your assistance.
