CP 2-10-4 #5933 - Canadian Pacific |
| Description: |
Long before an SD40 unit wore the number 5933, this Montreal Locomotive Works 2-10-4 Selkirk steam locomotive had that honor. Built in March of 1949, the loco was one of the last standard gauge steam locomotives built in Canada for a Canadian railway. So well matched to the task they were designed for, they held off early diesels for years. Unfortunately this semi-streamlined beauty met the scrapper's torch in September of 1959 after barely serving 10 years. Specs - serial #76224, class T1c, 63" drivers, 285 psi boiler pressure, 25x32" cylinders, engine weight of 449,000 lb, tractive effort of 78,000 lb. Unknown photographer |
