Post subject:  CP/CN steam photos

This site has some excellent late-1950s Canadian steam photos in color:

Use the "jump to page___" to go from page to page of thumbnails. There are three pages of CN steam, plus 11 of CP.


I especially liked this one of a CP 4-6-2 in December 1959 at Lambton roundhouse in Toronto. Hard to believe it was shortly headed for scrap.

And this 1959 excursion with a 2-6-0 and 2-8-0, both of which were later cut up:

Was that 1956 wreck the last major one in US/Canada involving two steam-powered trains? And two double-headers at that. Quite a mess, blocked a city street and collapsed a bridge, too.
