CN 4-6-0 #1129 - Canadian National |
Description: |
Long before a diesel wore the CN 1129 number, this 4-6-0 ten wheeler had the honor. Built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in 1912 originally as Canadian Northern 4-6-0 #1129, it was renumbered in 1919 to CN 1129 after the railroad mergers were finiished. The loco served well for nearly 48 years before being sent to the scrapper's torch in March of 1960 - quite a long record of service! Original specs - class G-16-1, 57" drivers, 180 psi boiler pressure, 20x24" cylinders, engine weight of 154,000 lb and tractive effort of 25,768 lb. This photo is by Arthur B. Johnson. |
