Dates:4/15/1960 - 4/17/1960
Album Info:Only months before the CP eliminated steam operations around Montreal, I traveled there from Rhode Island for a last look and to partake in two excursions, one behind the last steam engine built at CP's Angus Shops - G5a Pacific 1201 built in 1944 and H1b Hudson 2811 built by Montreal Locomotive Works in 1930. Although I saw some additional engines in steam most of what I saw were dead engines in the roundhouses or on long dead lines.

CANADIAN PACIFIC G1s 2219
Title:  CANADIAN PACIFIC G1s 2219
Description:  CP Pacific 2219 was built by the CP's Angus Shops in 1910. The Pacific was fifty years old when I photographed her at Smiths Falls, Ontario on Easter Sunday 1960. You won't find a better looking 4-6-2. She was scrapped a year latter. The end of CP steam activity was only months away but you could still find clean engines that looked like someone cared.
