What Is This Lovely Beast?

The two QJ's are in Iowa. Still operable, both said to be for sale. They ran with Milwaukee #261 at Rail Fest in Rock Island, IL a few years back. Best comment I heard from the line side fans as the triple-header rolled by: "I've seen better looking boilers in high school basements"... they weren't talking about the Milwaukee 4-8-4...
