CP steam 4-4-4 3003 in its waning years at the Glen shop in Montreal.
When I was hanging around Ottawa West in my pre-teen years, there was a Saturday-only train from Windsor Station to Ottawa via the Lachute Subdivision, #427, later becoming #137; Ron Ritchie called it the ‘Bytown Breeze’..it didn’t stop everywhere like the other 2 daily trains did.
One Saturday, the light engine showed up at Ottawa West for servicing as usual, and it was the 3003, seen here. Usually #427/137 had a G5, often St. Luc-based 1261.
I rode over to the shop with the switchtender, my first and last ride in a 4-4-4.
