Is in this group of photos, probably when relatively new. It looks just about like that today at Ottawa. http://cgi.ebay.com/LOT-OF-4-VINTAGE-RA ... otohosting |

3100 is one of only two Northerns Canadian Pacific had. They both survive today. 3100 is at the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa. 3101 is a park engine on display in Regina, Saskatchewan. I do know 3101 was inspected by the CPR for possible return to service a couple of years ago, but I don't think it went any further than that. |

Of the two, 3100 is in excellent shape, at least externally, and indoors, to boot! Given that restoration would involve a full tear down, I'd opt to have 3101 restored. Interesting thought regarding a CPR restoration of big steam, ala' Union Pacific. |
