DAR locomotive No. 24 "LaTour" stored in the Kentville Scrap Line, June 1939.

Comments below by David J. Gagnon from his blog post: "Dominion Atlantic Railway: Steam Power Snapshots, Maps, Books/Ephemera", Feb. 3, 2017:

Engine 24 La Tour, built by Baldwin in June 1898.
At Kentville, June 1939.

With their stacks capped, this is the dead line. The child is obscured by errant light during the film handling or printing steps - not live steam. The wheel arrangement and the deep firebox suggest that this engine started life as a wood burner.
