Older CP Diesels of Canada
Canadian Railway Pictures

The official poster by Dennis Budgen, a Calgary illustrator, produced
for THE GREAT CPR EXPOSITION at the Glenbow Museum, 1983-1984. It measures
22" x 29" and is framed on one of the walls of Massey’s residence.
The limited edition poster is now valued at £30 (about $50) at a UK specialty poster shop. http://www.heatons-of-tisbury.co.uk/posters29.html The Exposition assembled many original artifacts from the Canadian Pacific Railway Archives, and it was a combination of 3 events: a public viewing of artifacts, launching of a hardcover book (Trail of Iron: The CPR and the Birth of the West, 1880-1930) and conferences. All three were blockbusters. The organizers gave particular attention to the origin, construction and operation of the CPR in Western Canada from 1885 to 1930. Spread over 8500 square feet of gallery space, were track laying tools, many dioramas, period photographs and original CPR documents including the original letter of William Van Horne, by which he accepted the CPR presidency, Of particular interest were museum-quality artifacts, built by local model railroaders. One group spent thousands of hours recreating prairie landscape; while another group operated a model railway setup and another manned a telegraph station with messages sent back and forth. One of the displays was an 85-meter (about 250 ft.) replica of the Stoney Creek Bridge (east of Revelstoke BC), as it looked in 1886. The bridge supports on the display were 130 cm (about 5 ft.) high. Just around the corner from the Stoney Creek Bridge one almost walked into the interior of a mountain snowshed. Built three-quarters of its full size by the Alberta Pioneer Railway Association, it showed two section men aboard a hand car, their lantern providing the only light in the darkness. Other galleries contained full-scale replicas of a country railway station, a sleeping car, and the setting of a table in a railway dining car (with mirrors at either end giving the illusion of several tables). Only portions of THE GREAT CPR EXPOSITION (mostly photographs and
some less-rare artifacts) went on tour afterwards but the event attracted
thousands of visitors during its run. Many visited two or even three times.

CPR #21 (Model DTC-2), photographed at the Weston
CPR yard (Winnipeg) in 1974. It is part of series of light switchers (CP10 to CP21), built by the Canadian Locomotive Works in Kingston Ontario between 1957 and 1960. CP21 (Model 44H44A1 Ser# 3008) was built in May 1960 and retired in October 1976 and then most probably scrapped at the Weston yard. A few of this model have been preserved around the country, notably #19 at Champion Park in Okotoks AB, shown on this page. See a photo of #19 in her final restoration paint at http://trainweb.org/galt-stn/cproster/locomotive |
