Can't quite make it out... Is that a 4-4-2?

From what I've gathered the engine could be #999 and that would make it a 4-4-0.

Interesting! That would make it quite a late model 4-4-0 and it certainly doesn't look like the typical "American" loco. Fascinating.

#999 was built in 1893 and ran the Empire Express route until 1952 when it was finally retired.

It looks like the engines in the middle and the right are 4-6-0s while the left hand one is a 4-4-0. Excellent find, so thank you for posting them.
