Oklahoma

Signal 4202 means they're in Oklahoma, a few miles southwest of Shattuck. The engines just crossed above the east-west county road at 36.202N 99.9312W.

Two passenger trains a day were scheduled Chicago to LA via Amarillo; the Grand Canyon was due out of Shattuck at 8:50 AM Central War Time.

Seems odd to have two heavy locomotives on such a short train.

Beautiful photo! If you enlarge the photo enough, you’ll see the second engine, the fireman hanging out of the cab, and the semaphore on the other side of the track.
