There was so little information about this locomotive and location, so I only have the basics. What I do know is that this image has been in a dust storm, because it was very speckled. Took forever to get the spots out of it.
Things I like, the antlers on the front, that engineer's top hat, and his pipe. There is even a dog there.
This is the Union Pacific Eastern Division (4-4-0), Number 23, 'Apache' built by Baldwin as No. 1601 in March 1867. Later on it became the Kansas Pacific No. 23 in 1869, then was called UPRy 350, in 1885, vacated between 1889 and 1894.
The Wyoming Station, WY was on the Union Pacific RR about 11 miles from Laramie, WY.
The Union Pacific Railroad was started in 1862 as a freight hauling railroad. It was part of the First Transcontinental Railroad project known as the Overland Route.
