Mary Rae McPherson	General	This is likely Chicago. Note the lake in the background behind the engine. These engines would have seldom gone to St. Louis unless in freight service, as passenger trains remained Pacific powered until diesels took over.	2/2/2018 10:03:39 PM

IC 4-8-2 #2411 - Illinois Central
Nice photo from a direct scan of the original negative and it appears that it is newly delibered 4-8-2 Mountain type locomotive built by Alco-Schenectady in 1923. No date or location was given but with Mary Rae McPherson's help (see comment below), I now believe it was taken in Chicago, IL, possibly 27th Street. The date is possibly 1923 as it appears to be a newly delivered locomotive. Specs - class 2400, builder #64580, 73.5" drivers, impressive 225 psi boiler pressure, 24x28" cylinders, engine wt 362,500 lb, tractive effort of 57,120 lb. Unknown photographer.
