CPR 2408

W E Miller
A friend has a very large picture of CPR steam locomotive 2408 taken, he
believes, somewhere in New Brunswick. Would anyone happen to have a list of where this engine was assigned during its lifetime? William E.

Living in the Maritimes until 1969, and all my records of CP steam; 4-6-2 G-3 2408 is news to me. However this could be right. Locomotive 2408 was assigned to freight in and out of Cote St. Luc(Montreal) in black & gold) but one never knows if 2408 info ran East through Maine-McAdam, and Saint John. All the G-3 2400's that ran into that territory being assigned to passenger trains 39, 40, 41 and 42 on Montreal service. The 2400's that I followed very closely back in the early 1940's-1950's were all in tuscan red-grey-black gold scheme in the mid-1940's 1950's: 2402, 2453, 2455, 2457, 2459, 2461, 2467-besides theri sisters 2394, 2395, 2396, 2397. Locomotive 2392 did a stint on Montreal trains, and the Boston-Saint John Gull on the Vanceboro, Maine-Saint John CP sector. Under the weather today, not feeling too good. Trust I have answered all on the list-their question on 2408. However, anything was possible. But tried to keep track in those days of all power on CP in and out of New Brunswick including the main-line. Cheers Don Scott-Coquitlam, B.C. W E Miller wrote: From: W E Miller <traction@...> |
