Well, we might as well discuss the 3rd photo in the eBay lot, C&S number 6 and train stuck in the snow:
Looking at it more closely, it also seems to be c1910-1913: No "Como" spark arrestor on number 6, still has arc headlight with pull-down curtain enclosure, markers at each side of the front of the smoke box.
Number 6 appears to be pulling at least a two car (maybe more) passenger train, the first car a platform-less RPO or baggage car, so I doubt this photo is of the Alma mixed and likely unrelated to the other two photos.
The mountains in the background and the broad valley to the left, suggest to me the east side of Boreas Pass looking down the Tarryall.
How about it, Chris, any goats hiding in the snow to better locate the photo??
