Boston & Maine ALCO P-2b class 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive 3679 leads 6 car passenger train along a main line, ca 1942. You can see the engineer in his cab window. On top of the center portion of the boiler you can see a rectangular box which is for the automatic train signal equipment. This photo was most likely taken in Massachusetts. A good portion of this train's revenue most likely comes from its head-end equipment. One of the newer Osgood-Bradley lightweight (aka: American Flyer Style) coaches is included within the consist.
