@snowbear
It's a steam locomotive. Grand Trunk Western. Model BLW 4-6-2. Built as GTW 5030 in 1902.

4-6-2 "Pacific." The Baltimore & Ohio (first common carrier RR in the US) used them for passenger service. "BLW" indicates Baldwin Locomotive Works (the builder) - GTW had 4 Pacifics from Baldwin and 4 from ALCO (American Locomotive Co).

Dad was a model railroader, so I picked up a few things. I gave a brief presentation on the B&O in a history class when I went to the community college.
