CEI 2-8-2 #1957 - Chicago & Eastern Illinois
Title:  CEI 2-8-2 #1957 - Chicago & Eastern Illinois
Description:  With the engineer leaning out his window and a caboose in tow, this 1923 Alco built 2-8-2 Mikado must be doing some shuttle work. No date, location or photographer was given for the photo. Since the tender is wearing the loco number "1957" instead of the large "C&EI" letters, it must be sometime after 1941 when the railroad repainted the tenders.
