Hi Gerry, The picture of your father shows a type of locomotive with a 4-4-0 wheel arrangement. These are usually known as an "American". If you can make out the number on the front and the railroad name I might be able to find out more about that particular loco.

Since he was wearing a uniform, (4th from left) he was probably working as a conductor on that run. It appears that the picture was taken inside the railroad shops which were in Huntingburg, Indiana during that era. The engines that I remember as a child during the 1930s were much larger than this one.
