This Norris engine appears similar to the ”Governor Nye,” delivered to the US Military Railroad in early 1863, and is probably one of the four other Norris engines delivered around the same time. The location of the photo is the U.S. Military Railroad complex at Alexandria, Virginia, probably in March of 1863, when Russell shot similar portrait photos of several other USMRR engines in the exact same location.
