My grandfather Frank Van Cleave (on right) at the Rollins Pass summit in the 1910s.
The 119 number plate on the locomotive reads, "American Loco. Co. 1910".
David Moffat's railroad, the Moffat Line, later named the Denver and Salt Lake Railroad, almost exclusively used American Locomotive Company engines.
