Sorry, got in late to this thread, so this is for Corey:  The first loco is an old Pacific Fast Mail ATSF 2-10-2 'junker' I kit-bashed into a reasonable facsimile of a Rio Grande F-81 2-10-2.  The second loco is a stock 4-8-2.

This industry, located just across the mainline from the yard, is at times worked by switch engines like this 0-8-0 instead of a road locomotive.
