NIce Pullman poster boss. We do seem to be a gang of three Shane I'll have to dig out my roster book but 1986 seems right. I was twelve when I was in BC the first and only time I've been out there so that would have been 1983 and they were just about done then. I'll have to do some digging and let you know. Were the Lehigh ones retired before or after the merger ?
Another rarity ( for me ) a CP RS18 before the rebuilding program of the early 90's
Rob
G'day!

Enjoy!
Tom
Good Morning:
Canadian pictures continue. Rob; Lehigh Valley hung onto some of their Baldwins as well although they were pretty visible around Sayre, PA. When did CP retitre theirs? I don't have my roster book handy.
work safe
Hello folks popping in for an evening round up here. Shane yes CP kept those old Balwins around longer than most,the RS12's were disposed of quickly but the switchers found a nice little home on Vancouver Island. I figure that CP forgot they were there. They did retire then as soon as a major problem cropped up but not unlike Baldwins steam engines they were a hearty lot.Couple definate keepers from the bossman today as well
Montreal and Southern Counties #107 at Barn one at the east end of the property.
Thanx for the support over here - Shane! For a minute there, I thought you were at the bar . . . yeah, hallucinating <again>!
