Image of an elevation view of the side of a steam locomotive, with a 4-4-0 wheel arrangement, the labels "Highland Light" and "C.C.C.R.R" on the tender, the label "Highland Light" on the cab, and the label "Wm. Mason Taunton, Mass." between the driving wheels; a rural hillside with trees, rocks, and grass surrounds the locomotive. Probable date based on reference to locomotive and reproduction of image in Alexander, Iron Horses, page 144: "This Mason engine built for the Cape Cod Central Railroad in 1867 typifies perhaps the acme of locomotive design as practiced in the sixties." "Ch. H. Crosby Lith. 46 Water St. Boston."--text, bottom center margin. "S. S. Frizzell"--text, artist.'s signature on stone, lower left of image.
