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 |
