Not your usual wheel arrangement, CP 2928 4-4-4 semi-streamlined Jubilee type: My Dad's slide, Exporail, September 1975.
November 1989 at Camp Hill AL on the former CofG between Birmingham and Columbus, GA. Nearing the end of the season, the 1218 is quite sooted up.
Grand Trunk 1008, a 2-6-0, plus a train including a baggage car and a coach, at Crysler Park near Upper Canada Village, next to the relocated Aultsville station: GTR 1008 rests on a short segment of the original Grand Trunk line that was built in 1855, next to Aultsville station which was built in 1889, and relocated to this site, three miles from its original home, to avoid being swallowed up by the St Lawrence River that was growing as a result of the construction of the St Lawrence Seaway in 1957. The first-class wooden coach was built in 1901, and the wooden baggage car was built by Pullman. The baggage car was added to the consist in 1965. GTR 1008 was built in 1910 by Canadian Locomotive Company (CLC) in Kingston, Ontario, as a class E-8 2-6-0. When the Grand Trunk was absorbed into Canadian National in 1923, it was renumbered CNR 910. A few upgrades later and it was reclassified as E-10-a locos. Another renumbering to CNR 88 happened in 1951, to make room for the newfangled diesels showing up in the roster. In 1953 it had a spectacular derailment and rollover into its side in Hamilton, Ontario. It was the lead engine in a doubleheaded freight when 88's tender's front wheels picked the switch, jacknifing the locomotive and since another was pushing behind, it rolled over on its left side. It was repaired, but to this day, there's a long dent on the left-hand cylinder block visible (but not in this photo!), a witness to the mishap. CNR 88's last years were spent switching industrys at Caledonia, Ontario (southwest of Hamilton) and also at Canada Starch in Cardinal Ontario (which was one of the last assignments of CN 77, their first diesel switcher, before it was donated to Exporail). GTR 1088 and its train are currently undergoing extensive cosmetic restorations to make them look like new again. Stripping and fresh paint for all, and the wooden coach and baggage car are also having many wood panels replaced. Info from Canadian Rail magazine, November-December 2024 issue. That magazine is worth the membership fee all by itself!
Yep, Pueblo. The Pueblo Railway Museum cosmetically restored it a few years later, it now sits resplendent next to the Pueblo Union Depot. Looking for a decent current photo, spent some time perusing the museum website, really well-done with a lot of historical information.
