[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by teddyA Then CPR could grab one of her two remaining Selkirks and beat CN. Or even one of CPR's old Northerns. [/quote] I for one would love to see a CPR Northern to run! 3101 is sitting at IPSCO (a steel smealting plant) in Regina. IPSCO has some sort of a waterslide and I believe failed at an attempt to have some kind of a zoo because they've got a few elk and buffalo behind a fence. The 3101 is actually not even situated at the sight of the parking lot for the watersilde (where people would see it), but rather right near some building used by workers (you can still drive up to see it though). It's displayed behind a fence with a passenger car and caboose that are in serious need of a new paint job. The passenger car doesn't even have a correct paint scheme. The 3101 is in better shape, but still could use a lot of work done to it! I think this engine would be excellent candidate for CP to restore to operating condition. For CN, I'd love to see Northern 6043 run. It's currently displayed at a park in Winnipeg and does need work done (the outer covering for 6043's boiler is gone!). This is a very historical engine as it pulled the last shceduled steam run train in Canada, from The Pas to Winnipeg, on April 25th, 1960. There are many other engines I could mention too. Hopefully, both CP and CN will have the sense to get more steam engines running for the future!
