St. Louis & San Francisco (SLSF) "Frisco" 1036 on "Black Gold"

Description: A photograph print showing the Frisco (SL&SF) 1036, 4-6-2 (BLW), on southbound passenger train, "Black Gold". This is the same train shown in 174A [2008.008.6552]. In some ways this is a better view of the depot, especially the side where the white waiting room was located. The engineman is oiling around. Picture made in 1938, but fairly representative of 1929.
