I am about to list a postcard (well part of a postcard infortunately) of an old steam locomotive but I can't quite decipher what is written on the back of the postcard..maybe someone with some train savvy could help?? Or maybe better eyes would do..thanks in advance!
Here's a scan of the locomotive if it helps:

The loco looks to be a 4/6/0 mogul class with a cinder catcher [Diamond] Stack. Common work horse loco for many railroads in this time period.

Hi it's called either a 2 spot or a 4 spot. I will do some research for
you and get back to you. Do you have
anypostcards from Two Harbors Minnesota? Check and see they have a lomocotive
like this on display.
The DM&IR had these on their
Railroad.

Wow! Look at that 57 chevy. Neet. No I don't but it has been a really long time I was there. Probably as long ago as the post card.
I am from Proctor, same railroad so if you have railroad pictures from there tell me when you put them on.
