Montreal Locomotive Works

and now it's the other one that gets to operate so what is the the the two existing engines in canada number one and two what are their relationships to being able to run

yeah so the two the two current locomotives they actually celebrated their 100th anniversary this week uh there's a you know uh banner and birthday hats and a full celebration uh So they were built by the Montreal Locomotive Works, which was associated with ALCO in 1926.

And there were also 040 industrial tank engines, saddle tanks.

The saddle tank was key for a lot of industrial applications, but also for the original portage railway.

you don't think of but of course you know they got to keep an eye on these things as well as their entire uh executive train was there yeah yeah so and that was neat to see too some really nice cars yeah um Being a big diesel fan of myself, one of the highlights of the trip was watching, I can't remember the name of the short line that runs out of there that uses all the big Alco M630s.

Actually, they're Montreal locomotives.

Yeah, they're Montreal.

But they had one all done up in Bicentennial, very similar to what D&H did on their U23Bs and such.

And that was sitting on the turntable.
