Both GM&O 733 and the Grand Trunk unit are actually the same locomotive?

Not actually The Grand Trunk Locomotive was ex-DT&I 1776 The GM&O was more ICG/IC locomotive before it went somewhere else. I don't know where it went to. The crossing signal was replaced by the present day one that you see. But thanks for asking

I never would have guessed that was the same location. Nothing gave it away. I just noticed both lead eagines were non dynamic and had the air filter box on top....fame looks short enough to be a GP like the 733 was.

You have sharp eyes for attention to detail! :)

I was born on May 24, 1984. When I Saw This picture dated from 1978. There was similar comparisons to the one I have posted. The post office was built next to the tracks in 1971. The Fire Department and City Hall was built somewhere in the 80's and the 90's. I knew where the place was at. Because I had a friend of mine's owns a printing place right now as well as a Special Daze clothing/photography shop and some clothes store. BTW here's my detail photo:
