Digital Art Photo - September 16th, 2023 - St. Louis-San Francisco Railroad steam locomotive 1630 pulls into the depot at Illinois Railway Museum in Union, Illinois. 

According to Wikipedia, the locomotive was built in 1918 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for use in Russia as a class Ye locomotive. However, it, along with approximately 200 other locomotives, remained in the United States, due to the inability of the Bolshevik government to pay for them, following the Russian Revolution.
