Todd, the valve on the steam dome was actually pretty common for most of the railroad's existence. I've seen these valves from the late '80s until the end of the line - at least when 69 left the road. Most of the 1890 Baldwins had one. Most of the Cooke 2-8-0s had them. Even the un rebuilt Cooke Moguls and the Brooks 2-6-0s had them. I think I've seen one or two of the Rebuilt Cookes with them. But I've never seen an 1897 Baldwin with one. So in the above photo it could be any of the D Class (B-4Ds) except maybe 65. I think I see a very vague "8" on the headlamp side number panel in the above photo you posted. Of course I'm looking at a much higher resolution copy of this print than provided here.
Check out the dome on No 63 about 1906 - 7
