Here in Canada both CP and CN were using steam right up until 1960. There was also steam used for quite a while after that for switching at the Manitoba and Saskatchewan Coal Co. at Beinfait, Sask., as well as at some logging operations in B.C. and colleries in Nova Scotia. <br /> <br />This may be getting slightly off topic, but in the 70's and 80's the prices of diesel fuel were so high that there were actually serious plans made to build brand new coal burning steam locomotives for use in the US, complete with computer controlled firing. BN and Chessie System were planning to be the first to use these. Unfortunately, they were never built, but the project came extremely close to actually happening.
