westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 04/29/2019 1:36 pm The locomotive looks to be an early "Grant Locomotive Works" one (era 1855-1869), same type seen in many US Trans Continental Railroad photos.

GregAlex Pillar of the Community United States 822 Posts	Posted 04/30/2019 7:36 pm I'm pretty sure the first one was clipped from a Richmond & Danville RR bond. Too bad, since those bonds often sell in the $100 range. The other locomotive is cropped too tightly to offer many clues, but I'll keep an eye out.
