A good friend of my wife, from high school days, sent me a photograph she found in the house she bought. Knowing my interest in railroads, she sent it to me. Bingo! It is a photograph of UPRR #3657, a “bull moose”. It is a 3×5 black and white print which is almost in focus, but the composition is good.
I scanned the print and edited the results..

The miners insurrection happened in 1913 but the UPRR 2-8-8-0 was manufactured ca. 1925. I do not believe the UPRR 2-8-8-0 locomotive was in any way connected the labor disturbance you cited.
