Anyone have an idea of the location or RR info for this? Scan from a photo I picked up at a New England auction. My guess is late 1850s or very early Civil War based on equipment and dress. I have scanned it to 1200dpi and cannot find any legible information.
There is relatively simple striping on the rigid 3-axle tender and the driver axles have thin pointed stars. There does not appear to be any brake equipment on engine or tender and the tender appears to have rubber journal springs. Iron brake beams on the mail car, but no air or vacuum brakes. Structures l-r appear to be outhouse, single stall engine house with short turntable and two track covered train shed with a third 'bump-out'. Low hills/farmland in the distance.
