It is a DM&IR M3 and you are correct. It is a Yellowstone type also.

Hah, you blew it! It's a Rushmore, dummy!

This should be an easy one for steam fans.
My name is the same as a famous National park and I ran until 1961 or so.

Oops. My turn.
Here's one. It's diesel not steam.

Yup. Your turn.
Incidentally, supplying a picture makes it too easy.
That would be a UP Class FEF-1 4-8-4.
The Union Pacific Railroad bought 45 4-8-4s in three orders from the American Locomotive Company.
The first order of 20 locomotives (road numbers 800 through 819) was delivered in 1937.
It has 77" drivers, 24.5 x 32 cylinders, a boiler pressure of 300 psi, and a weight of 465,000 lbs resulting in a tractive effort of 63,611 pounds (63,800 nominal).

You ain't kidding it's a no-brainer. UP FEF-1.
Heres another loco game:

Oh, did I get it wrong. I was going to name it "Fred".
Actually, with the desert scenery and Vanderbuilt tender I was going to guess Southern Pacific.

Yeah. This type of game has been played here before.
And much more creatively as well.
Unfortunately for us, Grayfox, kobi a.k.a.---upnut, hoplasserem80c and I'm sure many others...has a problem with telling the truth, about ANYTHING, recently there was a huge uproar caused by upnut [hoplasserem80c] on another board...and it resulted in him being banned. It got so outrageously silly that one member dubbed him ''Mother Goose'' in referance to his tall tales. We all got a good belly laugh from that one!!!!
He is now trying to do the same thing here, but I'll wager he will find the reception to his ''fairy tales'' much hotter on this forum.
I've already seen some pretty questionable posts,I.E.-----his expenditures and assertion that he ''buys all his trains himself''. We know from the other forum that this is,in fact, a lie.

WHO originated the ''Name that loco'' thread on the ''other'' board upnut? It most certainly was NOT you...... It was Guilford Guy, below is the link, youv'e been caught in ANOTHER lie! when are you going to smarten up?

Back in the days of steam, 'horsepower' didn't figure into the equation nearly as often as TE--Tractive Effort. The MT-73 had between 45-50,000 lbs. of tractive effort, as I remember. Kind of light for a 4-8-2, but once the loco got a train rolling, it could tear up the rails pretty well.
