CP/BCOL 2860 MLW 4-6-4, H1e Royal Hudson

"Royal Hudson" 2860 is a MLW built 4-6-4, CP Class H1e. Reportedly: built by MLW in 1940 as CP 2860 Serial Number 69292. Retired in 1956 she was withdrawn at Winnipeg and languished outside Weston Shops until August 1964 when she was acquired by the Vancouver Railway Museum Association for preservation. The project failed and she was acquired by the Province of British Columbia to operate summer season steam excursions between North Vancouver and Squamish. Before this was possible, a complete overhaul was necessary and the locomotive was rehabilitated at CPR's Drake Street Shops in Vancouver before returning to traffic on June 20, 1974. 2860 was operated by the British Columbia Department of Travel and Industry with the cooperation of the British Columbia Railway. The excursion operated between May and October, from Wednesday through Saturday, for 25 years until 1999. 2860 is still owned by the British Columbia government, but is on permanent loan to the West Coast Railway Association (WCRA) and is housed securely under cover at the West Coast Railway Heritage Park in Squamish, B.C. The locomotive boiler has been rebuilt with the plan to resume specialty rail tours.

On June 3, 2008 we went to Montréal via Exporail, the Canadian Railroad Museum. At Exporail we saw CP 4744 a one of a kind M640. 4744 was one of many locomotives there built by Montréal Locomotive Works, the Canadian subsidiary of the the American Locomotove Company (ALCO). The M640 was called "the flying nun" by crews, presumably due to the radiator section. It was also a testbed for the first AC Traction motors, used in an A-1-A fashion in the trucks.

NOTE: If anything is my "life's work" it's my train photos. — If you scan an analog photo of mine, or if you share a digital photo I took that does not have my photo credit, add something like "Photo by Steve Sloan" directly onto the image. It's not enough to say "Photo by Steve Sloan" in the text caption. People download photos off the Internet/Social Media platform and whatever is in the text does not stick to the photo. Then, they get reshared and that data is lost. I deserve credit for my work.

You may not use my photos for profit and/or as part of, or to sell, a product or service without my consent.
