CN 4-8-4 #6400 - Canadian National |
| Description: |
Although not dated, this almost appears to be the Royal train carrying King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of Britain when they made an extended visit to Canada in 1939. However, Raymond Kennedy (see comment below) pointed out that the Royal Coat of Arms is missing on the nose. The 4-8-4 Confederation (CN's label for Northern wheel configuration) has a high shine not often seen under normal travel - hence the guess about the passengers. Built by Montreal Locomotive Works in June of 1936, it led a very distinguished service and was the only U-4 class member to be saved from the scrapper's torch. In June of 1967, it was donated to the National Museum of Science & Technology in Ottawa, Canada where it is now on display W.G. Fancher photo |

CN 4-8-4 #6401 |
| Description: |
The sleek streamlined cowling on this Canadian National 4-8-4 Confederation type steam locomotive made it look so much more modern than previous 4-8-4 locos. Built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in June of 1936, it reigned as a queen of high speed passenger service until it was retired from revenue service and scrapped in November of 1961, one of the very last 4-8-4's to go. Specs - serial #68716, U-4-a class, 77" drivers, impressive 275 psi boiler pressure, 24x30" cylinders, engine weight of 280,280 lb, tractive effort of 52,457 lb. Shrowded in a streamline case. No exact date was give for the photo. Dick George photo. |
