Still very much runnable, but stored indoors at the National Museumof Science in Ottawa. She has a small leak in her tender. The main concern is a slight hog in her frame. This is a repairable problem, but people question whether it's worth the expense. She might be better served as a static exhibit. I would suggest that CPR take a look at it and see what is the likelihood of repairs. She'd make a nice running mate for the Hudson. The Museum at Ottawa has a huge trove of locomotive treasures. Again, this is one that should not be missed if you can get up into Canada. The indoors exhibit hall alone is worth the trip. The storage building out back holds some wonderous other locos, including one of the last two C-Liners. |
