CP Engine # 5663
Posted by Doc Murdock on Tuesday, May 15, 2007 5:33 AM

Back in 1993 I got permission to ride a frieght crew out of Cranbrook to Kingsgate/Eastport return. On the way down we were on # 5663. I've only seen it once since in Saskatoon in 1995. It was the lead engine on a frieght from Edmonton to Winnipeg. Is there a way of finding what happened to it or which lines it's on?

On the way back from Kingsgate/Eastport we were on #6020. I've seen a good number of times. Nelson, Winnipeg, Kamloops, Calgary and Cranbrook.

5663 was declared surplus on October 19, 2006. My Dad has my last three issues of Branchline, so I don't know if it has been disposed of since.
