Title:  FEC 4-6-2 153
Description:  Floridae East Coast Railway 4-6-2 153 at Fort Lauderdale, Florida on an unknown day in February 1980, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 153 was built by Alco in 1922 (c/n 63262). The following is from steamlocomotive.com :

Number 153 was one of a group of seven Pacific type locomotives (151-157) built by ALCO in 1922. 153 was used in service to Key West and pulled the last train to leave Key West prior to the hurricane that destroyed "The Overseas Railroad" on Labor Day, 1935. 153 also had the honor of powering Calvin Coolidge's Presidential Train in 1926. 153 was sold to the U.S. Sugar Corporation in 1938 and donated to the GCRM in 1957. It operated every Sunday in Miami from March, 1957 until November, 1966, when the railroad was forced to move to Fort Lauderdale

CB&Q 4-6-2 Class S-1 2837
Title:  CB&Q 4-6-2 Class S-1 2837
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-6-2 Class S-1 2837 at (I believe) Schenectady, New York on an unknown day in 1907, photo by Alco, Chuck Zeiler collection. This locomotive was built by Schenectady (Alco) in 1907 (c/n 43482), one of 15 class S-1's (#'s 2830-2844), copies of 30 Baldwin-built class S-1's built in 1906 road #'s 2800-2829. The S-1 class was based on the Class R-5 2-6-2 Prairies, with the tube length increased by 24 inches and the driver diameter increased to 74 inches. The cylinders, driving and trailing axle journals were the same dimensions as the R-5's permitting interchangeability between the two classes. This particular locomotive was rebuilt to Class S-1-A in 1924 and sold for scrap in April 1951. The absence of a headlight suggests that this locomotive was shipped to the CB&Q where the Q's own style of headlight (known among some as a cuckoo headlight because of its shape) would be installed.

GTW 4-6-2 Class  K-4-a 5629
Title:  GTW 4-6-2 Class K-4-a 5629
Description:  Former Grand Trunk Western Railway 4-6-2 Class K-4-a 5629 at Blue Island, Illinois on July 12, 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 5629 was built by Alco in 1924, acquired by Dick Jensen in 1959, and ran on several steam fantrips. It is pictured with the ex-Soo Line 4-8-2 tender which Mr. Jensen used to replace the original GTW/Alco tender. In the late 1970's Mr. Jensen was suffering from poor health, and 5629 was stored in Rock Island's Blue Island roundhouse. After the Rock was abandon in the 1980's the Blue Island property was sold to METRA who wanted the locomotive moved, and after much legal dispute, 5629 was scrapped.

Title:  MILW 4-6-2 6335
Description:  Milwaukee Road 4-6-2 6335, date, location, and photographer unknown, print from Heier Industrial Photo, Chuck Zeiler collection. I guessed at the location based on the Schlitz signage. I purchased this print on one of the CB&Q steam fan trips from Greg Heier. If anyone has any further information, please leave a comment. Number 6335 was built by Alco-Brooks in June 1912 as CM&StP 1557 (c/n 51333), renumbered in September 1912 to 6335 class F-5, became CMStP&P 6335 in 1927, renumbered to CMStPP&P 818 in September 1938, retired in April 1952.
