Modeling the Northeast in the 1890s - because the little voices told me to

Appears they assigned an older loco to this light duty. Ornamented sand & steam domes, slanted cylinders. I'm far from an expert but I'd guess it's perhaps 20 years old in this photo. The car rented to W. H. Jackson is also elderly. I'd say less than 50 feet long with wood beam trucks!
