Passing the Tara, Ontario depot is Canadian National 2-6-0 #86 with its short string of freight cars. Built by Canadian Locomotive Company in 1910 as GTR #1006. In 1923, the loco was merged into the CN roster as their #908 but renumbered in 1951 to CN #86. Specs - serial #919, class E-10-a, , 63" drivers, 170 psi boiler pressure, 21x26" cylinders. This loco dodged the scrapper's torch and is now on display in London, Ontario, Canada. No date, location or photographer was listed for the photo. Bruce Gemmel, however, found the photographer as John Rehor who took this photo on July 24, 1957. Thanks for your help, Bruce! |
