Summary

Soldiers standing on the front of a "Russian 2-10-0 locomotive of class Yi (the letters on the buffer beam are Cyrillic), one of 881 supplied by builders in the US and Canada. They were part of a larger order in WW1, cancelled when Russia was taken over by the Bolsheviks. The Western powers briefly intervened in the ensuing Russian Civil War between the White Army and Bolsheviks and the photo shows British troops on the locomotive. The date must be in or before 1920 when the British withdrew" [information from a researcher].
