Hello J,
Here is some basic info on each of the 3 locomotives shown in that group of photos. I have not found any specific assignment information other than for #133 in 1940.
#6425 4-6-2 Pacific type steam locomotive. Oil burner. Built between 1910 and 1913. Off roster by 1956.
#133 2-8-0 Consolidation type steam locomotive. Coal burner. Built by Brooks in 1910. Off roster by 1956. Shown assigned to the Bonne Terre TSE job (traveling switch engine) in a survey made 4-17-1940 for General Supt. Of Transportation W. F. Kirk.
#582 F7 diesel locomotive. Built by EMD 9-27-1949. Later renumbered to 801. Retired 1970-71.

Ted,
Thanks for the information! If you can find any other information on operations along the Belmont Branch it would be most appreciated. The restaurant that currently owns the Fredericktown 1917 era depot has been looking for photos of any trains operating at that depot during it’s history. The Historical Society doesn’t have many railroad related items.
Again, from a fellow Miner, thanks very much!
