Nice shot. My Dad called these units "Doodlebugs".

While it has the look of a "Doodlebug", those were self-propelled passenger coaches, while this is a locomotive with a flat nose. A very early and rare locomotive. Great catch Bob. The Rock truly was a rolling museum.

The headlight looks like something right out of the steam era
