CN 0-6-0 #7260 - Canadian National
Description:
Here is another cute Canadian National switcher with a long and varied history from what I've pieced together. It was built built by the Canadian Locomotive Co of Kingston, Ont in November of 1906 for the Intercolonial Rwy as their #100. When the Canadian Government nationalized the railroads into the Canadian Government Rwys in 1913, it was renumbered as #805. When the CGR was reorganized as the Canadian National Rwy, it was again renumbered as 7175 in 1919. Sometime before its retirment, it was again renumbered to 7260 as it appears here. Officially it was retired in January of 1952 and stood dormant for 2 years. Finally it was sold to Intercolonial Coal Co., Westville, Nova Scotia, in Jaunuary, 1953. Some discrepancy exists whether it remained with the Intercolonial Coal Co or was resold to Tibbets Paint Co., Trenton Nova Scotia in 1964. Another source has its last working days serving the Drummond Coal Co of Westville, Nova Scotia. Somehow it ended up being donated to the Museum of Industry in Stellarton, Nova Scotia. Finally this "boomer" has some rest!

Description:
The Grand Trunk Rwy shops built this 4-6-0 ten wheeler in 1907 as GTR #1020 but renumbered GTR 420 in 1910. When it landed on the CNR steam roster, it was renumbered CNR 1609 in 1923.

Description:
Waiting for the approaching yardman, the engineer waits expectantly at the cab window. This 1912 Canadian Locomotive Company Consolidation-type locomotive looks sharp on this cold February day in Canada. The M-5-a class loco could produce a respectable 40,420 lb tractive effort. Note on the back by photographer Mendel Greenblatt states "Works at Campbellton", which is some 300 km away.

Description:
Looks like a three generation effort in hand turning CN #1383 on this manual roundtable at an unidentified location. With Bruce Gemmel's help (see comment below) this is Penetang, Ontario, near Penetanguishene in Simcoe County, Ontario. RRPA doesn't recognize the location. Note two more are pushing to the far right of the pic. Took a lot of muscle to get this 1912 Montreal Locomotive Works built ten wheeler turned! The loco was eventually scrapped in October of 1961. No date, location or photographer was listed for this photo but Bruce Gemmel (comment below) identifies the photographer as Don Wood. Thanks, Bruce, for all your help!!!

CN 4-6-0 #1532 stands by an unidentified passenger station kicking out the smoke plume, probably to the disgust of the lady whose wash is hanging out of the line in the background. Built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in 1910, the loco served first the Canadian Northern Rwy as their #263 (later renumbered 1324) and Canadian Natioanl as their 1324 before being renumbered #1532 in August of 1956. The loco was finally retired in March of 1960 after nearly 50 years of service. No date, location or photographer was listed for this photo. Thanks to Bruce Gemmel (see comment below) for identifying the locaiton as Palmerston, Ontario. Very much appreciate your help, Burce!
