On display at Ft. Churchill State Park, Nevada, USA. It's on loan from the Churchill County Museum and is said to "reflect early farming in Nevada." If I'm matching up the descriptions on the sign right, this is a Fairbanks-Morse engine.

Majuba mountain area. By the early 20th century small-time mine operators were using gasoline engines to power their equipment. Rather than buy an engine, they'd buy a clunker, drive it up to the mine, and pull the engine there. Lots cheaper, and the engine furnishes its own transportation! This is why you tend to see lots of engineless cars around old mine sites.

Shuttling back and forth behind the car wash, evidently assembling a train. Post Falls, Idaho. Altho there's a "BNSF" logo reflecting the merger of Burlington Northern and Santa Fe, the locomotive is still mostly in the old Santa Fe livery.
