Formerly Peabody Coal, now privately owned in Alberta and painted CP:

Not technically a Trainmaster, H24-66, but an incredible simulation!
Thank goodness for the Canadians and Mexicans, or we might not have the few remaining examples of these big locomotives.

Does anybody know who had this particular loco before Squaw Creek or Peabody got it? It is indeed a complete "fantasy" unit, as CP never had an H16-66. TVA and Alcoa bought one each; six went to MILW, and C&NW had the other 50. The "Baby Train Master" body style (high walkway, etc.) indicates a loco built between 1954 and 1958; C&NW had both styles of H16-66...........

My notes say "Peabody Coal/Squaw Creek 721001 to Alberta Pioneer Ry. Assn., Edmonton", but the photo caption says Calgary--private collection".
