C.E. DETWOLD, an 0-8-0 "camel" type appears here trailing a C&P conductors car, an early form of caboose. Basically a boxcar with windows. No cupolas in this period (I think), but some had benches on their roof. Great fun in the rain and snow.

Thought I try to capture the photography of the period I've been modeling. Created a black and white version...

A sepia tone version

And something I recalled while creating these...the cyanotype.

Real cyanotypes had more than just a blue tint though. Hard to describe. Not sure how to recreate the look.

Wow.
Great. Thanks, Tim.
This "camelback" is looking more like, what was recreated in Railroad Tycoon II game, and how I imprinted it in my memory.

@ Frank
Rain and snow would be fun greater, as the camel in screenshot haven't been equipped with lights.

I've wondered about that myself. That Winans style stack/spark catcher doesn't lend itself to headlamp installation, probably the reason that many B&O camels had side mounted headlights. Seems there are more than a few images showing these beasts without headlamps.

As long as their role was pulling industrial trains with coal, there might be daytime-only operations...
