Train photos found in a Photoshop envelope dated 1929. Can anyone identify these trains. The person who took the photos worked around the Midwest building water towers.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

If I knew the road name and the number on the locomotive all would be known. Will have to go with wheel configuration.
#1 is 4-6-2 pacific class.
#2 appears to be a 4-6-0 decapod.
#3 I am having trouble counting the wheels. I was thinking 2-6-0 Mogul but it looks too beefy so perhaps a 2-8-0 consolidation as I think I am missing a drive wheel.

Could #1 be this one, Locomotive 2568 from Southern Pacific? They had a service across the Midwest to Chicago. https://contentdm.library.unr.edu/cdm/ref/collection/spphotos/id/2200
