Nicely dressed group of gentlemen.. Would they be management or worker bees at the tanning Co.

Sharp dressed men....but no idea if that location is at the Tanning Co.; just in Mt. Jewett.....

Love that first photo of the engine on the flat.

Standard gauge 0-4-4 on that flat - pushing it on load limit, I'd bet. Serious bow in the facing side sill and the truss rods are not all that far from the track.

Is it not the same gauge as the car it is sitting on? Why would they not deadhead it home?

Yes. Oddly enough; not a narrow gauge engine.

You'd have to ask them, but something related to it not being able to roll freely might be an obvious answer.

What is also interesting here is that here's another example of a situation that can be modeled - yup, there was such a prototype situation.

hard to tell if the rear truck has a broken wheel. With the guy standing there it blocks the view. It looks to me that the rear wheel tread is not touching the rail. Something must be locked up or you would drag it home.

Back to the engine-on-flat-car photo. I wonder if there was a vertical clearance problem.

Looking up Mount Pleasant Pa, IOOF MOSS ROSE I came across this book. Looks like a lot of the postcard pictures you have been posting are also in this book.

These old RPPC's have been a great source of information for lots of people and topics.
