| Post subject: | Canadian National U-2-e Class Under Construction |
I've had this document in my collection for a while, and it seemd like it would be a good idea to post it on my website. It is an article from Canadian National Magazine discussing CN's new U-2-e and U-2-f class Northerns and features numerous photos of the locomotives under construction at Montreal Locomotive Works in 1940 New Power for Canadian National Trains Also included in the article is additional information on various classes of CNR steam power and several advertisements by CN. |

I figured this forum could use some relief from the GG1 thread... |

Notice the typo right out of the gate Joe? "Fifteen equipped with boosters from Montreal Locomotive Works, Ltd. Ten without boosters from Canadian Locomotive Works, Kingston, Ontario. The booster-equipped engines are classified by the railway as U-2-e, Road Nos. 6165-6179, while those without boosters are U-2-f, Road Nos. 6130-6189." |

I used an OCR (optical character recognition) program to 'read' the document that I had scanned. It doesn't always get it right. |

"I figured this forum could use some relief from the GG1 thread..."--Joe 6167 That and Pennsy K4s! Interesting that the big P company still commands such a following, now well over 40 years gone! I also found this CN steam roster; of note are the 10 2-10-2s in the number series 4200-4209. These are ex-New York Central engines (I think Boston & Albany) that got sold to the CN because they were considered too slow on a road like the NYC, at least that's the story as I have it: http://www.angelfire.com/ca/TORONTO/CNRsteam.html Oh, the internet can be quite amazing, thanks not only to itself, but to the people with the passion to put all this stuff on. . . |
