CP 2-10-4 #5934 0 Canadian Pacific |
| Description: |
Beautiful, semi-streamlined and powerful are the adjectives for the Montreal Locomotive Works 2-10-4 Selkirk steam locomotive (known in US as Texas type loco). Montreal Locomotive Works built 36 Selkirks between 1929 and 1949. Perhaps the most uniquely Canadian steam locomotive, they featured many design features and modifications that allowed them to excel in their environment.After nearly 10 years of faithful service, this sweet loco met with the scrapper's torch in August of 1959. Specs - serial # 76225, T1c class, 63" drivers, 285 psi boiler pressure, 25x32" cylinders, engine weight of 449,000 lb, tractive effort of 78,000 lb. Arthur B. Johnson photo |

CP 2-10-4 #5934 |
| Description: |
This loco is oddly in near mint condition for having been photographed in 1953. Most of the 1949 MLW built 2-10-4's were showing distinct signs of age. This is not one of the two 2-10-4's that was preserved, although CP 5931 was oddly renumbered as 5934 at first when it went on static display in Calgary after retirement. Does anyone know why this loco looks so sharp at this late date? Did it serve is some commemorative service? The photo was hand dated by J.R. Quinn so I don't think it was a number error. |

| 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 |

Saw this locomotive coming into Calgary in 1972. Read where it moved a couple times elsewheres. Think only the tender survives today. |
