Southern Californian view of Tunnel 10 in the Tehachapi Mountains
after some five inches of overnight snow. Snow very very seldom
falls in the area of the 'Loop' and when it does it melts in a very
short time. This shot was certainly worth the effort.

It's
not inconceivable to think that this image could have been taken
in 2007 had the Class 50's not been withdrawn from mainline service.
Perhaps this 'artists impression' detailing a slightly garish version
of First Great Western blue may give an idea of how things could
have looked on a Class 50.

CLC-Henderson/Don McQueen collection.
This 2-8-0 was part of an order for twenty engines (1820-1839), the first
order for the new locomotive company and the 1000th. built at Kingston.
This was the only CPR order for N class 2-8-0's built by CLC; most of
the 161 engines were built by MLW, 10 by little Canada Foundry in Toronto
and 1 by the CPR. Hundreds of Consolidation type locomotives were
built for and by the CPR as well as for many other railways large and
small. It was the main freight locomotive until the 2-8-2 came along.
CLC-Henderson/Don McQueen collection.
Re# 3835 in 9/12, it was rebuilt May 1928 into N2a 3635 and then rebuilt into 2-8-2 5243 in March 1949.
CLC and MLW shared many orders from the CPR, which also built many of its own engines. Even little Canada Foundry got some orders. The larger Montreal Locomotive Works got a bigger share of these orders simply because they could build more engines. Regardless of who built them they were all identical locomotives, you could not tell one from the other without looking at the builder's plate. The CPR was big on "standard" designs and parts, although this is not say that certain components did not vary sometimes as a method of evaluating the performance of such things as stokers etc. Differences that were easily noticed came about as a result of changes over the years such as location of make of headlight, pilot or footboards etc. Alterations to tenders to increase coal capacity or replacement with tenders off other classes of engines were another noticeable feature of many engines.
These 2-8-0's underwent change as part of a major rebuild program the CPR undertook between 1923 and 1930 that saw all 161 engines (3800-3960) receive new frames, cylinders and motion, with some receiving enclosed vestibule cabs. None received mechanical stokers but some were oil fired. Renumbered 3600-3760.

This was a typical "dinky" engine used by contractors and industries,
a saddletanker. It was one of six identical engines built for stock to
have on hand for immediate delivery when ordered. What was not typical
about this engine was the added diamond stack to catch sparks account
working in a lumber mill in Callander, Ontario. It is interesting to note
that when they were ready to replace the steam locomotive with a diesel
in 1946 they turned to GE for a little 25-tonner like so many other industries
did thus depriving CLC of an order. The mill closed in 1960 and diesel

resold in December 1970.weight in working order 30 tons. One ton coal, 999 gallons water. CLC/Don McQueen

The next order for 2-8-2's was a large order of 50 engines for the Canadian
Government's new National Transcontinental Railway. Another 50 engines
quickly followed the next year and a further and final 60 after that.
Many went to the ICR and GTP as well as the NTR, while others were leased
to the GTR. All wound up on the CNR, eventually rostering 400 of these
2-8-2's. These were CLC's first 2-8-2 type built. Repeat orders brought the total to 17 Mikado types.

One of five 2-10-2's they were the first CLC Santa Fe types but
not the first for the CNR. Ordered especially for heavy transfer and helper
service in the Toronto Terminals area, from Mimico yard eastward through
Bathurst Street yard included a 1.2 per cent grade to Danforth yard and
Scarboro Junction. A westward helper grade of 0.6 per cent between Port
Union and Scarboro Jct. (7 ½ miles) was also worked by these engines.
More powerful than any other 2-10-2's in Canada, they were the most powerful
locomotives in the British Empire at the time. They were also the heaviest
until 1929 when the CPR's 2-10-4 Selkirk types were built 
Old Time Trains Archives
A few years later, 33 more 2-10-2's went to CNR. 10 were built as oil
burners, the rest had Standard stokers all of which were converted to
oil about 20 years later. These were nearly 50 tons lighter and had 20,000
lbs. less tractive effort. Algoma Central added on two engines to this
order. They were ACR's only Santa Fe types.

The only preserved NAR steam locomotive was built for predecessor
Edmonton, Dunvegan & British Columbia. Retired in August 1960 it was
later donated to the Alberta Pioneer Railway Association who operated
it for a time at their museum. It had been converted to oil in August
1952. It was one of three identical engines delivered the same day, Pembina
Valley 72, ED&BC 73 and 74. These became NAR 72-74 Signature Studios
Bigger and stronger switch engines were needed as trains
grew in size and weight, so railways turned to 0-8-0's, some new, some
converted from 2-8-0's. In other instances 2-8-0's were equipped for yard
service with pilots replaced by footboards front and back, a rear headlight
applied and a fire hose added.

class 2-8-2's they were used primarily for freight but also for heavy
passenger trains just as were the P1's. Repeat orders to MLW and CLC continued
for many years, eventually totalling 174 engines; later models were more
modern semi-streamlined locomotives built between 1940 and 1948. These
were the best heavy freight engines the CPR had and were designed for
65mph. They were built with a variety of stokers, BK, D1 and HT. Selkirk
2-10-4 types were more powerful however, their heavy weight restricted
where they could be used.

This was the only NAR order for any builder. These two engines
were the last Decapods built by CLC, an old wheel arrangement that
was somewhat obsolete by this time. NAR had no engines with a trailing
truck except for a late acquisition of a used 4-6-2 from the CPR, 50%
owner along with CNR. Equipped with Standard stokers they were later converted
to oil as were all NAR steam locomotives. They followed a number of earlier

These twenty modern, semi-streamlined 4-4-4 Jubilee type engines were

Four orders for 112 modern Pacifics out of an eventual
122 (the last 10 from MLW 6-7/48) were built between September 1938 and
April 1945. These were the finest steam locomotives the CPR had. Sure-footed,
with a sharp exhaust they were equally suitable for passenger or fast
freight trains. The great tragedy is that not one was saved. A G3 would
have made an even better excursion engine than the G5's that were saved.

Last of four Mikado types built for PGE, these

The CPR was the only railway in North America to turn to
modern, lightweight 4-6-2 Pacific type steam locomotives as a way
of updating their motive power fleet. Based upon the tried and proven,
they were to replace hundreds of old G1 and G2 class Pacifics and
D10 class Ten Wheelers all across it vast system. In fact, following
the successful two built by the CPR they planned to order SIX HUNDRED!
It wasn't to be. After only 100 were built by CLC and MLW, no more orders
were forthcoming, by now it was diesels that were wanted, not steam locomotives.

CPR 706 D10a #685 8/17/1905
One of the most popular wheel arrangements was the 4-6-0
Ten Wheeler of which hundreds were built for many railways. The
CPR had hundreds of D6, D9 and D10 class built by many builders including
CLC, MLW, and their own Angus shops in Canada along with Schenectady Locomotive
Works, Richmond Locomotive & Machine Works in the United States but,
not the famous Baldwin Locomotive Works, although CPR did have other classes
built by them. North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow, Scotland and
Saxon Locomotive Building Company in Chemnity, Germany also built engines
at a time when North American builders were busy. Specifications were
very similar for all of them including 63" drivers that were capable
of 60 miles per hour or higher and a good 33,300 pounds of tractive effort
and a total weight in working order of 155 tons. D9's were used on passenger
trains in the early part of the 20th. Century while large numbers of D-10's
worked branchline way freights and yard switching late in the steam era.
