Show quoted text
red? What was the last CPR diesel to hold the tuscan colours? Need dates. =) Thanks guys! Manny ----- Original Message -----
From: Bill Miller <bmiller@...> Why does one always assume Alcos must be "old". Of course there are/were many Alcos delivered after the original SD40's because of CP's dissatisfaction with them. If that date is correct, then 4507 would be last because the 5500's were 1966 or 1967. Might it also be possible that 4507 was delivered after the CP Rail red was introduced on 4239/4242 ?? |

Consecutive numbers .......
Bill Miller <[email protected]
Something I just noticed - look at that consist! Four consecutive numbers as theHere are the approximate probabilities: 2 units - happens all the time 3 units - rare, but not earth shattering 4 units - next to impossible 5 units - not in your lifetime or mine However there is always an exception ....... new units. April '93 one day I caught CP #918 with 3021-3022-3023-3024-3025-3026 all elephant style. Surely there are other examples of the like. ---------------------------------------------------------- Bill Miller - CPR Editor CTC Board Railroads Illustrated ---------------------------------------------------------- ICQ# 9907692 The View From Galt Station " << MOVED !!

FROM MY RECORDS-TRIP ON CPR SAINT JOHN, N.B.-MONTREAL AND RETURN-CIRCA-FEBRUARY-1951
Donald Scott <[email protected]
*Symbol denotes CPR steam locomotives in tuscan red-grey-black-gold
paint scheme. West Saint John, N.B.-February 8, 1951(Had travelled the other railway Moncton-Saint John) Bay Shore Yard-and roundhouse: Locomotives inside roundhouse-afternoon: Light modern 4-6-2 1256, light 4-6-2's 2604, 2627, 2504, heavy semi-streamlined 4-6-2's *2397, *2402, 2-8-2's 5303, 5319, 5328, 5239, 0-8-0 yard engines: 6925, 6928, heavy 6600, 2-8-0 yard engines: 3682, 3744, 3738. Remarks: Light modern 4-6-2 1256 assigned to Saint John-Boston "Gull" passenger service as far as Vanceboro, Maine. CP power backs six miles to McAdam, N.B. Same applies next morning CP power for "Gull" backs to Vanceboro, Maine. At Vanceboro, Maine ,Maine Central Railroad E-7 takes over to Portland, then Boston & Maine to North Station at Boston. Locomotives in roundhouse *2397 and *2402 assigned Montreal trains. Locomotive *2397 will go westbound at 1700 on train #41 "Atlantic Limited" as far as McAdam, while *2402 will take out westbound Montreal train #39 at 2000 as far as McAdam, N.B. 4-6-2 1256 will depart Saint John Union Station on the westbound "Gull" to Boston at 2030. Three other light 4-6-2's in roundhouse either 2604, 2627 or 2504 will take out the Fredericton local at 1745 for Fredericton. Heavy semi-streamlined 4-6-2's-*2397 arrived at Saint John Union station from Montreal on train #40 at 0645(put on at McAdam, while *2402 had arrived at McAdam runthrough from Montreal on train #40 arriving at 0400 with a five hour layover before taking train #42 "Atlantic Limited" the second eastbound shortly after 0900 to Saint John. We boarded CP train #39 at 1930 for a 2000 departure-semi-streamlined heavy 4-6-2 *2402 backed in from Bay Shore and coupled onto our train. Soon a CP 2-8-0 3600 or 3700 class yard engine flew past the train shed to couple on the end of our train as a helper or pusher to the Reversing Falls Bridge, a stiff grade out of Saint John Union Station. Alongside our train was the "Gull" for Boston, and light modern 4-6-2 1256 had just backed in from Bay Shore and coupling to its train. The other railway's train #13 had just pulled in from Moncton with a 4-8-2 6000 class-through cars from Halifax put on at Moncton including the through Pullman Company sleeper Halifax-Boston. The CP 2-8-0 helper or pusher after pushing our train out, would head back to Union Station and couple onto the Boston train and follow the same proceedure. CPR's train #39 never departed until the CPR's Bay of Fundy Service "Princess Helene" arrived from Digby, Nova Scotia with connecting passengers either to the Montreal or Boston service-includes, express, mail, fish products etc. Train #40 from Montreal arriving at 0645 also connected to the "Princess Helene" for Nova Scotia. Trains #39 and #40 and the westbound "Gull" connected with CP's Dominion Atlantic passenger trains at Digby(along shipside) with train #95 Halifax-Windsor-Kentville-Digby-Yarmouth, and train #98 eastbound. At 2000 train #39 departed Union Station being assisted by a 2-8-0 on the hind end of the train. Union Station has two eastbound deadend tracks, four through tracks all under the train shed, and track #7 an outside of station track, also used by CP transfers to reach Island Yard at East Saint John. Enroute- Our train arrived 40 miles west at Fredericton Junction-a new modern station. On the passenger track for Fredericton trains was streamlined 4-4-4 Jubilee of *2920 series either* 2926 or *2929 connecting train for Fredericton, which also connected in the evenings with the Edmundston-Aroostook-Woodstock-McAdam-Saint John passenger whcih had just arrived going eastbound with light modern 4-6-2 1255.

Train Books
EMMA AND THE SILK TRAIN (ISBN 1-55074-388-0) and BEAR ON THE TRAIN (ISBN
1-55074-560-3) are two recent kids' books based on CPR trains. Both are written by award-winning author Julie Lawson (coincidentally my wife) and are published by Kids Can Press, both in the US and Canada. EMMA AND THE SILK TRAIN (1998) is based on a silk train derailment that took place along the Fraser River in BC in 1927. It was recently honored by the International Reading Association as one of the 10 top picture books of 1999. The book includes a historical note that provides information about the silk trains that ran across North America from ports on the west coast to silk mills in New York. BEAR ON THE TRAIN, released this month, is based an another true story - about a bear that I saw climbing onto a CPR hopper car in Field to eat some spilled grain. Patrick Lawson |

Hello everyone,
This morning around 10AM, 8139-8136 were paired up with a string of autoracks coming from Toyota. They were sitting at the crossing just east of the overpass and eventually headed out to the mainline for shunting. Trackwork was taking place so I never stuck around. I assume I didn't miss much?

back for sending such fine posts for everyone's benefit. They represent a moment in history. Going back as recently as 1986, one can certainly see how things have changed on CP Rail (CPR today).

New Ontario Northland SD75 2100 was delivered to CP's St. Luc Yard Thursday
June 3, 1999. It was due to leave Montreal, this afternoon, on train 431 and head up to Smith Falls and then to the RaiLink Ottawa Valley Line with delivery tomorrow morning June 5, 1999 in North Bay Ontario. No date has been given for the delivery of the next unit, figure maybe five-eight days given the time it takes the other railway to receive its new SD75s. Bryce Lee, Burlington, Ontario |

It is with a lot of dismay that I watch the I.H. daytime trains
running with a handful of trailers. The 401 in my area is an endless stream of big trucks with their polluting and road damaging results. The I.H. is full on weekends and this suggests the railway is unable to match delivery times demanded by business today. In the 60s, CP was moving 5000 trailers per week between Montreal and Toronto. The potential must be H U G E for this type of traffic today. Why can't the rails get it??? What do you think???? Doug Hately |
