Looks to me like a train. No, seriously, I think that's a GP20.

It is a former Great Northern GP20.

Only the GN ones had the airtank arrangment like this. All others had the air tanks like the UP unit does, underneath the walkway. GN also had 5 steps in the step wells, also were the only high nose GP20s as were the UP ones. GN ones were set to run long hood forward, so we are looking at the rear of the unit.

Typo correction. ..."UP ones" should read "WP ones".

Great photo, Tracy! John Burgersmith is right. The GP20 pictured was an ex-GN unit.
