Comments on: Peter Newman’s great shot ( & story ) of the 1201 / FP7-A lashup ( a candidate for a RP’s “ Hall of Fame “ ); see: on the Belleville Subdivision ( and is that Frank Bunker at 1201′s throttle ? ) …reminded me of another 1201 doubleheader: the G5a / RS-18 lashup at Charney P.Q. ( G5a #1201 a June 1944, CPR Angus Shops, Montreal build – CN #3718 a 1957, MLW RS-18, Montreal build ) Ex CPR 1201 – owned by the National Museum of Science & Technology ( and operated by ? ) – was attending the 450th anniversary celebration of the founding of Stadacona ( Quebec City ) by Jacques Cartier. Uncertain what ailed the 1201 on this assignment – perhaps a viewer may be able to elaborate. June 26, 1984 Kodachrome by S.Danko. More CPR / exCPR steam, including a double header: Wakefield West Toronto Leaside Agincourt Cherry Street sdfourty http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

Not many people are aware that a telephone pole was embedded in 1201’s boiler during the restoration (the second shot in my sequence that day clearly confirms this). I also managed to blur the image and cut off some wheels. Not a snowball’s chance that Mr. Host and the moderators will let this photo squeak in. The only thing in focus is the engineer – and I’m 99% sure it isn’t the late Mr. Frank Bunker. Thank you, Mr. Danko, for your kind words and nomination!
