IC 0-4-0T #2518 - Illinois Central  Contributor's Pick!       
Some controversy over the builder of this tank locomotive. Several list Alco and one has Baldwin as the builder but whichever, it is a cute little switcher! No location or photographer listed on this original photo. Thanks to Mr. Gerald (see comment below), this switcher was built by the IC shops in 1888 according to the IC steam records. Specifics - 140 PSI, Weight 72,000 lb; Tractive effort 15,075 lb, Cylinder 16x24, driver 48.5".
