L&N 4-6-2 152 at an unknown location and date. According to info on the back of the photo, this unit was retired in 1953, and I'm guessing the photo is near the end of it's career based on the streamlined passenger cars behind it. Maybe circa 1950?

Photo taken October 1996.
Nebkota bought a trio of ex-Canadian National F9s in the late 1980s from VIA Rail. My dad and I found both F9As sitting just between Chadron and Crawford, NE in October 1996. Obviously there had been a minor mishap...
You can see Dad's shot of these units here --> www.flickr.com/photos/hunter1828/614774562/
Eventually, all three Fs would be sold by Nebkota to the Canadian Pacific, which has them in active duty on business trains.
