In the book "Montreal Railway Terminals" there is a short paragraph of commuter trains working out of Montreal CPR Windsor Station...........
"Suburban service began in 1893 between Montreal and Point Fortune, along the Ottawa River at the Quebec-Ontario border. The CP built a special purpose locomotive for the suburban service: it being a 4-6-4T steam locomotive number 624"
Until the time of reading this small book a few weeks ago, I was unaware of CPR having any tank locomotives. The commuter line between Dorval (just outside Montreal) had parallel CN and CP trackage and this was a race track for CN and CP engineers between Dorval & Ste Anne de Bellevue.
