CP 2-10-4 #5933 - Canadian Pacific |
| Description: |
Long before an SD40 unit wore the number 5933, this Montreal Locomotive Works 2-10-4 Selkirk steam locomotive had that honor. Built in March of 1949, the loco was one of the last standard gauge steam locomotives built in Canada for a Canadian railway. So well matched to the task they were designed for, they held off early diesels for years. Unfortunately this semi-streamlined beauty met the scrapper's torch in September of 1959 after barely serving 10 years. Specs - serial #76224, class T1c, 63" drivers, 285 psi boiler pressure, 25x32" cylinders, engine weight of 449,000 lb, tractive effort of 78,000 lb. Unknown photographer |

| Description: |
Beautiful, semi-streamlined and powerful are the adjectives for the Montreal Locomotive Works 2-10-4 Selkirk steam locomotive (known in US as Texas type loco). Montreal Locomotive Works built 36 Selkirks between 1929 and 1949. Perhaps the most uniquely Canadian steam locomotive, they featured many design features and modifications that allowed them to excel in their environment.After nearly 10 years of faithful service, this sweet loco met with the scrapper's torch in August of 1959. Specs - serial # 76225, T1c class, 63" drivers, 285 psi boiler pressure, 25x32" cylinders, engine weight of 449,000 lb, tractive effort of 78,000 lb. Arthur B. Johnson photo |
