Black and white photo of a steam locomotive. There is grass in the foreground and behind that is the side of the locomotive. On top of the boiler is a smoke stack, three domes, a bell, and what appears to be a horn or whistle. On one of the domes is the number "56". There is piping and compressor parts on the side. A pole is in the background. There is a white border on all sides, and in the bottom border is "Olympia #821 7/12/37". On the back is a stamp in the shape of a seal that has a lot of words, one of which is "certanteed". Below the seal is part of a date "12 1937". Also stamped is "D23". The photo is inserted, along with a negative of the image, into a cream colored envelope that has typed "Olympia 7/12/37 No. 56". Stamped is "821" and "indexed".
