Before it moved down to Winnipeg to pull excursions on the Prairie Dog Central, this ex-CPR 4-4-0 operated occasionally as backup power for Winnipeg Hydro, on a short line that (I think) was isolated from other rails. Last I heard, it was getting a new boiler. This photo taken in the summer of 1961. http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?o ... _Hydro.jpg |

Your right, before being rescued by the Vintage Locomotive Society, the locomotive was Winnipeg Hydro No 3. At the present time the locomotive is undergoing a major overhaul, complete with a new boiler. In the locomotives absence, Prairie Dog Central trains are being hauled by either a an S3 or a GP7. |
