Reflections of Yesterday

Located in downtown Jasper’s at the train station, Locomotive 6015 is one of 16 mountain-type engines built by the Canadian Locomotive Company of Kingston, Ontario in 1923 and used by Canadian National in fast freight and passenger service. It pulled the Canadian version of the Orient Express. This type of engine could move at 100 miles per hour, and It needed about 10,000 gallons of water and 17 tons of coal. The Locomotive 6015 stands today in downtown Jasper, Alberta Canada as the mark of a time long gone by but never forgotten.
