Here are two pictures of my dad's of the same train (well same equipment), but based on the dates on the back of the images, taken some months apart. They are both of Camelback #1588 with a Work Train set.

I would really love any additional information that anyone may have, not just on the locomotive, but maybe on the crane, or on the old wooden cars in the one photo.

First image is a closeup of #1588 on a side track.

Second image if of the #1588 pulling the train through the station.

Thanks for looking, and as always, corrections are welcome.
