You can hear them talk if you listen......

CPR 2860 and Preserved Friends









Although my opportunities to photograph any steam engines is limited by the fact that few are left the following pictures (starting from the bottom ) show Royal Hudson 2860 heading down the coast from Squamish to North Vancouver. Next is CNR 6060 at Expo 86 along with CPR 1201 ( second photo from top ). The CPR Selkirk # 5934 is on display in Calgary. Alberta and was photographed in 1978. It was moved to Heritage Park and repainted, the number changed to 5931. CNR 6015 is in Jasper, Alberta - picture is dated July, 1973.
