The locomotive used in the film had a 2-8-2 wheel arrangement, but the first known locomotive with this wheel arrangement wasn't built until 1884. It also had a Vanderbilt tender, used for oil-fired locomotives which didn't exist in the film's time period.
The locomotive was actually Southern Pacific #745, built in 1921, with an cowcatcher-style pilot, large oil lamp, and old-fashioned smokestack attached.
