CP 2-10-4 #5931 |
| Description: |
This is one of the last standard gauge steam locomotives to be built by Montreal Locomotive Works for a Canadian railway. CP had been impressed with the ability of this 2-10-4 oil burning steam locomotive to handle the difficult assignments, both passenger and freight, through the Canadian Rockies. This last order of 6 brought their roster total for the Selkirks (CP's name for the Texas configuration) to twenty six. The only difference between the last two orders were two cross-compound air compressors to speed recharging of the air brake system. Specs - 63" drivers, impressive 285 psi boiler pressure, 25x32" cylinders, engine weight of 447,000 lb, tractive effort of 76,905 lb. J. R. Quinn photo |

| Description: |
Excellent action shot of Canadian Pacific 2-10-4 #5931 handling a long freight somewhere outside of Walsh, Alberta, Canada. Built by Montreal Locomotive Works in 1949, this loco (serial #76222, class T-1c). this loco and its 5 other sisters were the last regular gauge steam locomotives to be buiilt for a Canadian railway. The class was scrapped in 1959 but #5931 and 5935 were saved, the only two 2-10-4's to be preserved. This loco is now on public display at Heritage Park in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. J. R.

| Title: |
CP 2-10-4 #5934 (actually #5931 renumbered) |
| Description: |
Here is the face of a mighty force that helped tame the rugged Canadian Rockies shortly after retirement. Built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in 1949 as CP #5931, it was part of the 3rd and last order for 2-10-4 Selkirk type steam locomotive (CP's name for the Texas configuration). For some odd reason, this loco was retired, donated to the city of Calgary for display and was purposely renumbered at the time to #5934 as it appears here. Later, it was renumbered correctly to 5931 and placed at the entrance to Heritage Park in Calgary. J.R. Quinn photo |
