Visible (L to R) are PRR engine #1223 and SRC engine #31. #1223 is a D-16SB (4-4-0) "American" built in Juniata during November of 1905. #31 is an 0-6-0 built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during August of 1908.

Bottom Photo, Partial Caption: "Dependable 0-6-0 No. 31 is seen here with a westbound train of four wooden coaches." SRC engine #31 was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during August of 1908.
