I know everyone here likes a good picture now and then, and since there have been so many good ones posted lately, I thought Id jump on the band wagon. The only difference with this photo is it's extreme low quality, partly due to small format. What we have here is a WM consolidation next to two cold MILW northerns(212, 218). I ran across this photo while archiving a large collection of WM photos. Many photos are labeled with the L+N or LtN at the top. I don't believe it has anything to do with the road. I'm hoping someone might have and idea where/when this interesting photo was taken.

File comment: I darkened the photo slightly as the original was very washed out.

The lay of the land in the background reminds me of West Virginia Junction, the WM yard adjacent to Cumberland, MD. Given the spotless appearance of the MILW locos, it'd be a safe guess they're new locos en route to delivery.
