Both belong to the Museum of Science & Technology in Ottawa, but I'm not sure if they're on display anymore. Not sure when the photo was taken. Both the 4-4-0 and 0-6-0T were sold long ago to other companies, then reacquired by CN for display. No. 40 came to St. Albans a couple of times before I worked there, towed on its own wheels.http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?f ... 0Corel.jpg |

247 & 40 are both still at Canada's Science & Technology Museum (ex-National Museum of Science & Tech) but are not open to the public. They are stored in a warehouse, with the ex CN government cars, and the CP c-liner. A note about #40, the pilot (cow catcher) in the front was made of wood, and is hinged to allow the engine to be towed to the locations. It looks rather odd with the pilot leaning against the smokebox door. In another part of the same building is CP 1201, the shay, the Thurso GE diesel, and some other treasures. Some of the equipment is open to the public on certain events, like the Doors Open Weekend, which was held at the beginning of June this year. |
