Conversations

Here’s a selection of the conversations happening on these photos:

One of the yards of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad. On the right are three of the west coast streamliners, Chicago, Ill. (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

Matthew Brown said:
The streamliners appear to be one of the M-10003–6 trainsets, one of the E2 locomotives, and one of the later E6 locomotives. All were joint ownership between the C&NW, the Union Pacific, and (in the case of the City of San Francisco trains) the Southern Pacific.

I wonder what the numbers written in chalk were all about?
Silly Spark said:
I assume that the letters SH refer to Super Heater. Maybe reference to the numbers of different types of boiler tubes required?
