Hi Doug:

No, unfortunately the paint and lettering hasn't been corrected. I've seen them several times now and every time my anticipation turns to disappointment when I see that shockingly light grey combined with the weird lettering and numbers.

Apparently the plan to paint one of the GP38-2's into tuscan red and grey has been scrapped. I've heard "RUMOURS" that the new plan is that all three F's are to get an extensive rebuilding in the fairly near future and the painting errors are hopefully to be corrected at that time.

We can all hope this is true.

That's pretty good! I hope to catch them out around Seebe, but it will
probably be dark by the time they roll through.

> >I was curious to see if the 1400 and 1900 had arrived Revelstoke BC yet.
I

just traced them on CP's tracing page.

Have they corrected the type style and lettering errors on the 1400 yet? How
is the 1900 painted?

Hi Gang:

A postscript to my earlier message:

I was curious to see if the 1400 and 1900 had arrived Revelstoke BC yet. I just traced them on CP's tracing page.

The 9600 1400 and 9545 all arrived Revelstoke at 1100 but the 1900 (according to CP's trace page) has made a remarkable flight across most of central Canada and is shown on a transfer (TRSF 27) at Toronto. I hope our country's air traffic controllers were advised in advance to expect a flying F9B painted in grey and tuscan red.

Now if CP could just get wings onto the A unit and several of the business cars they could offer a most extraordinary service to their well heeled corporate customers.

Long live Canadian Pacific Airlines!!!!

Hi Folks:

The hoped for eastward movement of the F units and the Business Cars was a bit of a disappointment.

The four cars (Strathcona, Killarney, Assiniboine, Mount Stephen) were on the rear of yesterday's (Sat. Feb. 26) No. 464. (Actually three bulkhead flats were tacked on behind them!)

The two F units were the second and third units on today's (Sun Feb. 27 ) No. 992. Power was as follows:
9600 1900 1400 9545 and 35 cars through Salmon Arm B.C. at 0805 PST. They had no switching today at Sicamous so should be into Revelstoke about 10:30. Called for????......I'm guessing noon!

Hi Patrick,

I was fortunate to photgraph this unit on train #573 passing through
Milwaukee, WIS on 2/20/00 around 12:30 am. What an impressive sight to see
stateside, hopefully more will follow.

Nathan

I am pleased to announce another SD40-2 has been added to my locomotive
fleet. It is an Overland Models unpainted 5928-5659 series.
I figure that the multi-mark will look good on it. This brings the total to
eleven SD40-2's.

5502 Tuscan/Grey 5537 Tuscan/Grey 5975 C/DF
5510 A8M 5557 Tuscan/Grey 5956 A8M
5512 Tuscan/Grey 5663 A8M

Pentrex closed the doors on its magazines in December, if I'm not
mistaken...

The last issue of "RailNews" was August, 1999. The last issue of "Vintage
Rails" was September-October, 1999.

As an alternative to that type of magazine, try "CTC Board".

A good choice... lots of western Canadian content

Anyone know what happened to Railnews mag?? I can't find it
anywhere in T.O.

What would you like to know?????? I do a fair amount of it......Mike

I see CPR has purchased/leased new coal cars from the Johnstown America
Corporation,they went through Salmon Arm B.C.on a 811, smooth sides and
very shinny with the transport Canada approved reflective tape on both
sides.Also looks like there are two sets .

Hi Guys

We seem to be "drifting" off railroad topics, but I have been fascinated by
Donald Scott's posts regarding CP Steamships.

I have had the great pleasure of making four transatlantic crossings with
CP. The first two in 1949 when my Mother and Father and I (then 18 years
old) went on a great European tour. I could go on about that forever, but I
wont.

Donald Scott describes the First Class Cocktail Lounge of Empress of
Scotland, and our ship, The Empress of France (Nee Duchess of Bedford?) had
a similar cocktail lounge. The bar stretched across the bulkhead forming the
division between the cocktail lounge and the first class lounge.

A few day out a very big storm caught up with us. I can't remember the
severity, but with huge waves coming under our starboard quarter causing us
to take green water over the bow, the Captain hove to so that we were facing
the storm, but drifting northeast. The going was much easier, but in the
middle of the night, we heard a huge crash, followed by the patter of
rushing feet overhead. Our steward came and told us all was OK - it was just
the bar in the cocktail lounge had come adrift from the bulkhead, and
crashed down on the floor! What a mess!

We remained hove to for two days, and finally turned and headed for England
going North about Iceland!

I'm sorry about this diversion from trains, but let me add that the train
watching was great!

Read in Globe & Mail either Friday or Thursday-that the other railway
has a for sale add to sell their 50% ownership of the Canada Southern
Line-Niagara Falls to Windsor, Ont. CPR owns the other 50%. The CN For
Sale Add is in the business section. Likely this line will be full CP
ownership.

Canadian Pacific Steamship's 26,500 Ton "Empress of Scotland"(2nd)

Continued From B-#62 of February 25, 2000

Circa-1951

"Empress of Scotland" Will Sail From New York-To Re-open Winter Series
of Carribean Cruises.

The Canadian Pacific will re-enter the cruise field this winter when its
beautifully-appointed flagship Empress of Scotland makes a series of
seven voyages from New York down through the sunbathed Carribean ports
of the Spanish Main.

H.B. Beaumont, steamship passenger traffic manager, announced the
cruise plans recently, and said the winter sailings of the Empress of
Scotland has been carefully prepared to make full use of the Company's
extensive pre-war cruise experience, including the glamorous world
cruises of the former 42,500 ton "Empress of Britain".
While Canada is enveloped in the cold winter, the 26,500 ton Empress of
Scotland will be sailing through tropicl seas, or calling at the
historic ports of Kingston, Jamaica; LaGuaira; Venezuela; Willemstad;
Curacao; Panama; and Havana, Cuba.

Two 12-day cruises, leaving New York on Dec. 22, and Jan.5, 1951,
include calls at Kingston, LaGuaira and Havana and will cost from
$300.00 up to $1,243, the latter price being the cost of luxurious
suites which are available on the Empress.
The five 14-day cruises leave New York on Jan.19, Feb. 4, Feb. 20, March
8, and March 24, the cost of these anging from $385.00 to $1,430. Calls
will be made at Willemstad and Panama in addition to the ports touched
on the 12-day cruises.

Last May(1950), following a two-year post-war conversion job, the White
Empress entered the Trans-Atlantic service between
Liverpool-Greenock-Quebec City abd since then, her beautiful interior
has made her known as one of the luxury ships of the Atlantic.
The ship's dining room, with its oval windows, mirrors, and teak
woodwork, will be fully air-conditioned before the cruises begin, while
the entire ship, designed for travel in tropical seas, has controlled
ventilation.

For the cruises, the Empress of Scotland will have outdoor and indoor
swimming pools, a Lido deck for sunbathers where buffet meals will be
served on tables sheltered by umbrellas from the sun, and other
attractive features. Buffet meals will also be served on the
glass-enclosed Promenade Deck.

Also available for days of relaxation at sea will be the ship's
beautifully-decorated private rooms-the high-ceilinged Long Gallery, the
tek pillared main foyer, the Empress room for movies and dancing, the
French Empire lounge, the smart cocktail room stretching the width of
the ship with windows on three sides; the card room, the quiet library
and writing room. Outdoors are the sundeck, boat deck, Lido deckand
promenade deck, the latter being glass-enclosed its full length for
comfort on cool days.

Traditional service and cuisine will be combined on the cruises with
extensive experience gained before the war in operating cruises around
the world, to the Carribean and Mediterranean, to the Norwegian Fjords,
to South America and Africa.
Interesting sight-seeing tours have been arranged for each port.
End.

Remarks: The Empress of Scotland to position the liner for New
York-Carribean cruising, would sail from Liverpool-Halifax-New York each
year. After completing its cruising would sail New York-Liverpool
direct.
On its Westbound run Liverpool-Halifax enroute to New York, Special CPR
"Empress" boat trains" would operate from Halifax-Saint John-Montreal,
including a special CP mail-express train. Passenger equipment and
head-end equipment would be deadheaded Montreal-Saint John-Halifax. For
some reason the "Empress of Scotland" never called at Saint John, N.B.

The Empress of Scotland also originated cruises out of the UK either
from Liverpool or Southampton.
