CN 4-8-2 #6043 in Winnipeg's Assiniboine Park:

If I recall correctly, Mountain 6043 closed out regular steam service on the Canadian National on April 23, 1960 by hauling a train between The Pas, Manitoba and Winnipeg. The old girl is starting to look shabby at best. She obviously needs some friends to look after her.
