"The Canadian National Railways was formed in 1923 to rescue several financially troubled rail lines. At the time of the merger new motive power was badly needed and the CNR's first order for new locomotives was given to the Canadian Locomotive Company to build sixteen "Mountain" type locomotives.
This batch of sixteen 4-8-2s were delivered in 1923 and was designated as Class U-1-a and assigned road numbers 6000 through 6015. These locomotives had 26 x 30 cylinders, 73" drivers, a 210 psi boiler pressure and exerted 49,588 lbs of tractive effort. They weighed 354,110 lbs and were used on express passenger trains between Montreal and Toronto.
Twenty-one more "Mountains" were delivered from the Canadian Locomotive Company during 1924 and 1925. These locomotives were designated as Class U-1-b and given road numbers 6016 through 6036. They were similar to the Class U-1-a "Mountains" and were added to the passenger motive power roster.
Five more 4-8-2s (Class U-1-d, road numbers 6042 through 6046) from the Canadian Locomotive Company and twelve more 4-8-2s (Class U-1-e, road numbers 6047 through 6058) from the Montreal Locomotive Works were delivered in 1929 and 1930. These last two groups had minor improvements but were essentially the same as the sixteen delivered in 1923.
A final batch of twenty “Mountains” was delivered by the Montreal Locomotive Works in 1944. This group was designated as Class U-1-f and assigned road numbers 6060 through 6079. These very heavy (416,500 lbs) locomotives were semi-streamlined and intended to be used primarily for fast passenger service. Some were also used in a dual freight and passenger capacity. They were capable of reaching speeds up to 100 miles per hour.
The U-1-f class locomotives had a distinguishing conical nose that housed the headlight and the number lamps. The stack was flared after the British style. They were normally painted in CNR's passenger colours of black with green board skirts, cab and tender. Some of them were eventually converted to burn oil.
There are five surviving CNR "Mountains":
"6015 at station yard in Jasper, AB
6043 at Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg, MB
6060 at the Rocky Mountain Railway Society in Calgary, AB
6069 at Bayview Park in Sarnia, ON
6077 at Prescott Park in Capreol, ON "

Had another appointment today. Spent all day getting testing done so I brought the pocket cam along. Got this shot in the elevator Flash got too much of a glare and the lighting sucked, oh well.
Op 6 januari 2016 maakte het nieuwste treinstel in Nederland zijn proefritten op de Hanzelijn. Tijdens deze ritten moest het nog glimmende stel aan de kant te Dronten om de InterCity voor te laten. Dit bracht echter ook een foto moment met zich mee.
Het NSR stel 2010, wat gestoken is in de R-NET outfit, gaat samen met nog 5 'R-NET' Flirt-3's rijden op de lijn Gouda - Alphen aan de Rijn. Dit gaat gebeuren vanaf de dienstregeling wissel van december 2016.

EXPLORED
Julie works most days and I take our son out for a little day trip at times. Today we went to the nearby part of Cape Cod for some beach time and scenery. Lots of shells and rocks here to pick up and throw around and the water is shallow and calm so both mom and son can splash as much as we want!!
The flickr gods have selected this photo for Explore, which is number 8 for amateur photographer me!! Always grateful for this honor - grateful and humbled. This is also my first photo in this rarified club that I have taken with my decidedly un-modern "smart" phone which proves there is no reason for anyone else to not be able to take decent photos. If I can do it then so can you.
Winnipegger into the early morning light arrival at SPUD. Was very dark, so tweaked for more light almost to grainy, sorry 'bout that. Old CNW tracks from Western Ave via Chestnut St. at old Pioneer Press warehouse and on to stub by FO&K on left.
For Steam Sunday here's another from my visit last December to the Wiscasset, Waterville and Farmington Railway Museum. This is truly a special place that is worthy of a visit in any season.
After making eight round trips from Sheepscot Yard to Alna and the charming outdoor Christmas Market at Sea Lyon Farm their day is finally done. Having debarked the last passengers the dimutive 2 ft narrow gauge train pulled back north out of the station track and now are shoving back south on the lead to put their coaches and caboose in the barn and their locomotive in the roundhouse.
WW&F 0-4-4T number 9 was built by the Portland Company in 1891 for another of Maine's two foot pikes, the Sandy River Railroad. Successor Sandy River & Rangely Lakes sold her in 1924 to the Kennebec Central where she ran for less than a decade before being sold once again in 1933 to the WW&F in its last year before abandonment. Restored to service in 2016 she now regularly operates here on the very route she worked in her last year of revenue service.

Good number of House Sparrows around the bird feeders @ Frampton Marsh & nice to see as now threatened species. I never see any in Norfolk where I live, all the old barns have been converted to holiday homes! Group of 5 waiting to get on the feeders photo in comments
I was on my way to Reflection Lake, however, took a wrong route due to the darkness. The plan was to take a U-turn at the parking lot at Paradise, but instead, I found this gorgeous view with absolutely unbelievable combination of objects. Usually one will not be able to see the Milky Way with dusk still hanging around, and it is a great luck to see Venus, even though it is very bright, in the a mountain area with an astronomical number of trees,
