• Viaduct - Cropped from a scan of the original photograph.  The Wikipedia page for this photograph (retrieved June 14, 2011) asserts that this photograph is in the public domain.  Since this locomotive was retired from service before 1900, the photograph could not have been made after that time and therefore I believe it is in the public domain due to its age.
