There probably aren't many photos out there of a steam tractor on a railcar on a boat on ice. Here we see two brand-new Buffalo-Pitts steam tractors on a flatcar aboard the transfer steamer City of Detroit on the Detroit River in winter. 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company.

This appears to be the tube sheet for a pretty good sized industrial or large heating boiler.
Is that a locomotive or industrial boiler behind the tractor on the left?
The company is no more but there is a website:
Buffalo-Pitts was a predecessor company. Successors included Poco, Loggins & Messina, and Crosby, Stills & Nash.
It's like an industrial version of "Hop on Pop."
