Built in 1928 at CP's Angus shops, CP 3101 and sister 3100 were the only two 4-8-4 Northerns ever built and owned by CP (while CN rostered more than 200 of these monsters). She was converted from coal fired to oil fired at CP's Ogden shop in 1956 a little more than a year before being retired from service. Nicely restored and sitting on display with a heavyweight coach and an old caboose, 3101 saw service from 1928 until October of 1957. Photo by David Wylie and submitted with permission.

  1. Good shot of 3101 & it’s attached cars. I don’t know if the locomotive was moved from it’s original IPSCO display location or not, but in the 1960′s there was lots of open space around it. It was easy to see & photograph then.
