CP 2-10-4 #5908 - Canadian Pacific
Title:  CP 2-10-4 #5908 - Canadian Pacific
Description:  Beautiful and powerful enough to handle the rugged Rockies were these Canadian Pacific 2-10-4 Selkirk type steam locomotives. This one was built in July of 1929 (serial #67929, class T-1a) by the Montreal Locomotive Works. CP called these mighty locos "Selkirks" instead of the lower US label of "Texas" style. Ten were built in the first order in 1929 with another 16 to follow later. Photo is by J.R. Quinn.

CP 2-10-4 #5909 - Canadian Pacific
Title:  CP 2-10-4 #5909 - Canadian Pacific
Description:  Long before an EMD SD40 unit carried the number 5909, this 2-10-4 Selkirk type steam locomotive had the distinct honor of wearing it for the Canadian Pacific. Built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in July of 1929 (serial #67930, class T-1a) that CP called "Selkirks" instead of traditional Texas monicker, were excellent performers in the rugged Canadian Rockies. To cut down on fuel, they were built as oil burners since a coal burner would have needed increased tender size and thus increased the weight to nearly 400 tons to go the distance that a lighter oil burner could do.
