These were on display at the Turcot roundhouse at the same time the excursion with 6153 operated. The 40, 247 and 713 ended up at Ottawa, but the 713 later came to Delson. The 713 was actually a Grand Trunk New England Lines (Montreal-Portland, Maine) locomotive, that pulled the CN museum train in the mid-late 1950s. The 40 and 247 were part of that train and were pulled on their own wheels, with some old cars,that are on display at Ottawa today. The 1165 was previously the 1009, renumbered in October 1957, late in the steam operations. It went to Delson and then to Hillsborough, NB for operation on the Salem & Hillsborough. It was damaged there in their enginehouse fire and hasn't operated since. http://flickr.com/photos/striderv/24777 ... 940277523/ http://flickr.com/photos/striderv/24786 ... 940277523/ http://flickr.com/photos/striderv/24777 ... 940277523/ http://flickr.com/photos/striderv/24786 ... 940277523/ The Turcot yard became an intermodal terminal then was abandoned and remains vacant today, with plans for a new hospital. They pile winter snow there, small piles of which were still there when I last went by it in late-July... |

The CNR 2-8-0, #1009, now at Salem and Hillsborough RR received only minor paint scorching in the disasterous fire. She's capable of operation, but does not carry the proper certificates for some reason. The locomotive that was the RR's pride and joy, and was heavily damaged in the fire was the operable ex-CPR 4-4-0, #29. It was returned to the CPR in exchange for an old MLW Diesel, and was cosmetically restored for display outside CPR headquarters in, I believe, Calgary. I think #29 was the last operable steam loco on the CPR, so the loss was severe in historical terms. |

And here is 29 today as a lawn ornament in front of CPR headquarters in Calgary. http://www.flickr.com/photos/focalplane/281717075/ |
