Engine no. 1304 in snowstorm at St. James, 1912. Nice numbering on the tender. Photo from collection of the James Memorial Library, used with permission. Pat Moreland, Union Mo.
Actually it looks like whoever labeled the photo, wrote the 1304 on the tender. Looking at the number board on the headlight, though, reveals the engine number was really 1302.
I noticed that too, after I had already posted the picture. Once it's enlarged, you can make out "1302" pretty easily. Still an early 2-8-0, right? Hard to count the wheels with all the snow. I've seen some pretty deep snows in central Missouri, but I don't know if I've ever seen one comparable to the one shown here. Pat Moreland, Union Mo.
