Well, let's see... <br /> <br />[img]http://www.canvisit.com/images/Locations/Canada-Saskatchewan-East-Central-SK-EastCentSK-4.jpg[/img] <br />This is CNR 4-6-2 5114, built by MLW in 1919. Yes, I know it's a bad picture, but it's the only one I could find. It is preserved in Melville, Saskatchewan (home to a big CN yard, about 45 minutes from where I live) alongside an old station. This is the Melville Railway Museum. It never seems to be open, though. The only time I actually got inside was when I was 3 years old or so my parents tell me. <br /> <br />[img]http://alphabetilately.com/Regina/r26.jpg[/img] <br />This is CNR 4-6-2 5093, built by MLW in 1918. It's on display in Regina (2 hours and 15 minutes from where I live) in front of Casino Regina. The Casino is housed in the city's old Union Station. There's also a CN dining car in front that is connected to the casino. A year or so ago, I heard that they wanted to get rid of it and were willing to give it to whoever wanted it. Apparently there was a town with an old factory that made the bricks used in locomotive fireboxes that was interested, but I haven't heard anything since. <br /> <br />[img]http://www.steamlocomotive.info/locomotives/SA6.jpg[/img] <br />This is CPR 4-8-4 3101, which is preserved at the IPSCO steel smelting plant, just outside of Regina. This was one of only two Northerns that CP had, both built in 1928. IPSCO melts down a lot of steel that comes from scrapyards located right beside it and many years ago this "scrap" included steam locomotives. <br /> <br />[img]http://collections.ic.gc.ca/canadiana/Image/f79_mj_4.gif[/img] <br />This is CPR 4-6-2 2634, built by MLW in 1912. It is at the Western Development Museum of Transportation in Moose Jaw (3 hours from where I live). The museum also has a narrow gauge 0-4-0ST that they operate on weekends in summer. I couldn't find a picture of it. <br /> <br />The only other preserved trains close to me are in Saskatoon and Winnipeg. Both cities are about a 4-hour drive from my town.
