Title:
CN 4-8-4 #6401
Description:
The sleek streamlined cowling on this Canadian National 4-8-4 Confederation type steam locomotive made it look so much more modern than previous 4-8-4 locos. Built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in June of 1936, it reigned as a queen of high speed passenger service until it was retired from revenue service and scrapped in November of 1961, one of the very last 4-8-4's to go. Specs - serial #68716, U-4-a class, 77" drivers, impressive 275 psi boiler pressure, 24x30" cylinders, engine weight of 280,280 lb, tractive effort of 52,457 lb. Shrowded in a streamline case. No exact date was give for the photo. Dick George photo.

CN 4-8-4 #6401
Description:
Here is another fine example of a Montreal Locomotive Works streamlined 4-8-4 Northern type built in June of 1936 for the Canadian National. Caught by H.L. Goldsmith as it sits in the dead/scrap line in the Stratford, Ontario yard, it waits for the scrapper's torch which finally comes in November of 1961. Specs - serial #68716, U-4-a class, 77" drivers, impressive 275 psi boiler pressure, 24x30" cylinders, engine weight of 280,280 lb, tractive effort of 52,457 lb.
