I also think the engine could well have been a ten wheeler. They were the most numerous of the C&NW's steamers, and also the most numerous type found on its subsidiary Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha ("the Omaha road"). The North Western had 325 Class R-1 ten wheelers; the Omaha had 96 ten wheelers in Classes I-1 and K-1. All of these engines were used in passenger and freight service during the '20s. <br /> <br />Another possible type of engine in passenger and mail and express service at the time would be a Pacific (4-6-2). Both the C&NW and the Omaha had Pacifics (a few of which weren't built until the early '30s). <br /> <br />Cameron was on one of the lines operated by the Omaha Road, so it's likely the engines were Omaha, rather than North Western locos.
