Canadian Pacific class A2m 4-4-0 steamer


This was built in 1883 by the Rogers Locomotive Works in Patterson, New Jersey, for the Canadian Pacific Railway as number 140 and used for both passenger and freight service. In 1907, it was renumbered 196 and classified as A5h and 5 years later renumbered again 115; the following year, 1914, it was given the final number of 136 and re-classified as class A2m.

The locomotive was withdrawn from Canadian Pacific's roster in 1960 and remains in operating condition at the South Simcoe Railway in Tottenham, Ontario.  The pic above has no date but from the guys leaning out of windows, was probably on a fan trip.
