CP #2643 - Canadian Pacific
Description:
Some discrepancy in sources as to whether this was built by the CPR Angus shops or Montreal Locmotive Works (see comment below) in May, 1913 as #1243 (class G2), it was renumbered a year later in April of 1914 as 2643. Like as many of the earlier locomotives, it was rebuilt in the 1920s. Date is an approximation and no photographer was listed.

CP 4-4-4 #3004 - Canadian Pacific
Description:
Here is a strikingly beautiful example of a Jubilee-type 4-4-4 steam locomotive built by the Milwaukee Locomotive Works in 1936. It is no surprise that the Louis Marx toy company used this style loco when designing their popular semi-streamlined Canadian Pacific steam locomotives. This F2a class of locomoitves held the Canadian record for speed set at 112.5 mph. in its heyday. The photographic credit listed as Theo. A Gay.

CP 2-10-4 #5909 - Canadian Pacific
Description:
Long before an EMD SD40 unit carried the number 5909, this 2-10-4 Selkirk type steam locomotive had the distinct honor of wearing it for the Canadian Pacific. Built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in July of 1929 (serial #67930, class T-1a) that CP called "Selkirks" instead of traditional Texas monicker, were excellent performers in the rugged Canadian Rockies. To cut down on fuel, they were built as oil burners since a coal burner would have needed increased tender size and thus increased the weight to nearly 400 tons to go the distance that a lighter oil burner could do.

CP 2-10-4 #5920
Description:
This appears to be a photo taken by J. R. Quinn shortly after this 2-10-4 loco was delivered in 1938. After the success of the first ten 2-10-4 Selkirks ordered in 1928, Canadian Pacific put in a 2nd one to MLW. "Selkirk" is the name that CP used for the 2-10-4 configuration rather than the US version "Texas". Specs - 63" drivers, impressive 285 psi boiler pressure, 25x32" cylinders, engine weight of 447,000 lb, tractive effort of 76,905 lb.

Specifics - first in the sub-class H-1d, 75" drivers, impressive 275 psi boiler pressure, 22x30" cylinders, engine weight of 354,000 lb, tractive effort of 45,254 lb. Unknown photographer.

CP 2-8-0 #3229 - Canadian Pacific
Description:
Interesting photo of an 1899 Alco-Richmond built ten wheeler. Originally it was #723 but the entire class of ten wheelers went through several rebuilts and renumberings (this one was renumbered in July 1902 to #1025, renumbered in May 1906 to # 1429 ans reclassed from SE3 to M1c, renumbered in April 1913 to #3229, cylinders wer changed from 21&23X26 compound to 20X26 simple in November 1913). Number 3229 was listed as an oil burner between 1938 and 1941. Starting with #3215 being scrapped in June of 1921, most of the class was scrapped in the 1930's. #3214 however, lasted until after WWII before being scrapped in December of 1946, #3229 was scrapped in April 1941. This was marked as a Harold K. Vollrath photo and also marked as having belonged to the Pacific Western Rwy collection (owned and operated by Union Lumber Co).

Description:
By 1950, this 1938 Montreal Locomotive Works 2-10-4 Selkirk is showing its age. Still a powerful brute to handle the rugged Canadian Rockies, the dieselization was slowly creeping through the railroad industry. After heading up passenger service, the Selkirks by this time were relegated to handing mostly freight service. The entire class was scrapped in 1957, just 7 years after this photo was taken by J.R. Quinn.

Somehow this 1938 Montreal Locomtoive Works built 2-10-4 Selkirk, #5922 (serial #69112, class T-1b), still looks good and has retained most of its decorative paint scheme. By this time, many of the Selkirks (CP's name for the Texas wheel configuration) had been relegated to freight service and painted black. Still a mighty locomotive, it could handle long drags of freight cars through the Rockies. J. R. Quinn photo

Description:
Beautiful and powerful enough to handle the rugged Rockies were these Canadian Pacific 2-10-4 Selkirk type steam locomotives. This one was built in July of 1929 (serial #67929, class T-1a) by the Montreal Locomotive Works. CP called these mighty locos "Selkirks" instead of the lower US label of "Texas" style. Ten were built in the first order in 1929 with another 16 to follow later. Photo is by J.R. Quinn.
