CNR 5093 Pacific Class at Regina SK Union Station |
This picture was submitted by Art Grieve, Winnipeg, Manitoba |

CNR 5093, displayed at the east gate of the Exhibition Grounds in Regina, Sask., during the mid-70s. The Pacific-type locomotive was built in 1918 by the Montreal Locomotive Works as oil- burning 4-6-2. (Ser#58330) class J-4-c, for the Canadian Government Railways as CGR 471. It became CNR 5093 when the Canadian Government formed “Canadian National Railways” (1918-1923), from a pool of its own locomotives and many others, acquired from near-bankrupt railways all over the country. While CPR used Regina as a transcontinental stop, the city was also served by the CNR for local passenger service, which caused the building to be named “Union Station”. Every major railway town wanted a steam engine as they were being rapidly scrapped. CNR 5093 was found suitable and purchased in 1964 by the Regina Plains Museum. The tender however came from CNR locomotive 5139, another 4-6-2. To highlight the locomotive, it was prominently displayed at the east gate of the Exhibition Grounds, where she stayed until July 1995. In 1991, after VIA Rail ceased serving Regina (January 1990 – mfj), Union Station was declared a Provincial Heritage Site, renovated and selected to house Casino Regina. To emphasize the railway aspect of the area, the Saskatchewan Government which run the Casino, decided to restore the 5093 and move her to the right of the front doors where she is displayed today. Notice the change of logo on the tender in this picture, from a round “Canadian National Railways” superimposed on a maple leaf http://www.trainweb.org/oldtimetrains/photos/cnr_steam2/logo_maple_leaf.jpg , to the more simple “Canadian National” tilted wafer shown in the other photo. Another positive point for this view is that the “engineer’s side” is shown, whereas the other photo on the page is the “fireman’s side”. The cairn in front did not make it to the new display. |
