old (1912) locomotives & crew photo...

Cool old railroad photograph of a pair of locomotives, some employees, and a dog. On the back are the employees' last names and their job titles. It even mentions "the pup" (if I read it correctly).
I have had it for several years and have not been able to find any info about a rail yard or shop in Summit SD. Maybe the pros on railroad sites could tell me more.

To me, the style of headlight on the locomotive looks like the style used widely on the Chicago & Northwestern R.R. Very nice photo! Do you want to sell it? How much do you want for it? It fit in great in my collection of old photos.
