  1. Great shot, Rob! I knew the “Empress” had been preserved, but it was very cool to see a recent photograph. Thanks for sharing, Sir!

  2. Man she does look good sitting in there.Does it still have the engine in it or no?

  3. Cool shot Rob.

    Gord, the 8921 has traction motors, but no diesel engine, and the 9171 has a diesel engine, but no traction motors.

  4. Was the engine taken out for parts? It will probably easier to find traction motors for the 9171 then it will be to find a engine for the 8921 either way looks like they have done a great job preserving the 8921.

  5. I think it was taken out when CP retired the unit, but I’m not certain.

  6. Ve-r-r-r-y nice, Mr. Smith………Sir.
