Title:  LI 0-8-0 #258 - Long Island RR
Description:  Nice original action photo of Long Island 0-8-0 yard switcher #258 in the Jamaica, NY, yard. Although I couldn't find any info about this loco except it is a member of the C51s class, Tom Beckett came to the rescue (see comment below). The loco was built by Alco-Pittsburgh in 1918 and served until being retired in 1950. The location listed on the photo may be in question as noted by Tom below so a little more research is needed. Thanks, Tom, for the help! The photo is from the Bob Lorenz collection and the date was given as just "1935."
