Seen a picture of the 3005...looks terrible.

The E&N 3004 is still original and is paired with the
CPRS 3009.
Too bad they had to ruin that unique paint scheme.

Hello,

I have been conducting some research on the CPR through the Rockies. I have
been gathering information on the line durring the last days of steam around
1950-1953. I am wondering if anyone can tell me if the railway ran any of
it's Big Otis gons durring this time between Field and Golden B.C.? Any
information on this subject would be of great help to me.

Regards,

Mark:

I don't know who you could ask that could supply a definitive answer.
However, I think that it is a pretty save bet that such cars would have
made appearances from time to time, though hard to say now for what
purposes. Because that is main line territory, it is pretty certain
that almost every type of freight service rolling stock owned by the CPR
would have made at least an occasional appearance. I would be very
surprised if anybody could logically argue, much less prove, that those
cars DIDN'T make runs between those points during that period.

Run 'em on your layout and don't sweat about historical accuracy!

regards,
