CN 4-8-2 #6028
Title:  CN 4-8-2 #6028
Description:  This once mighty 4-8-2 Mountain-type steam locomotive has now been relegated to the storage/scrap line at Stratford, Ontario. Built by Canadian Locomotive Works in July of 1924 (serial #1756, class U-1-b), it served until retirement. It met the scrapper's torch in January of 1959, about 5 months after this photo was taken by H.L. Goldsmith. Probably one of the very last photos of it ever taken.

CN 4-8-2 #6060
Title:  CN 4-8-2 #6060
Description:  Here is one of only three lucky 4-8-2's on the CN roster of 83 that survived the scrapper's torch. Built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in October of 1944, it was nicknamed "Bullet Nose Betty" because of its distinctive cone shaped smokebox door cover. Retirement came in 1959 and luckily it was placed on static display in Jasper, Alberta. Denis Chartrand (see comment below) noted that she was first restored in 1972-73 in Montreal. Thanks, Denis! She was later rebuilt again in 1980 and made several appearances around Canada & the US. She is now owned by the Rocky Mountain Rail Society at the Alberta Prairie Railway, Stettler, Alberta and runs annual excursions. Unknown photographer.

CN 4-8-2 #6060
Title:  CN 4-8-2 #6060
Description:  Here's another view on CN 4-8-2 #6060 standing ready for another tourist excursion. She is only one of 3 Canadian National 4-8-2's that survived out of a total of 83. This impressive mountain-type engine is considered to be one of the best remaining examples of a modern steam locomotive, and, in addition to being Canada's largest operating steamer, is currently North America's only operating mountain-type engine.
