Caption: CNR 6167 recently restored - is now sporting its replica number plate and boards, sites beside the current generation: F40PH 6408 on the head end of VIA 84 at Guelph Station. 6167 is adorned in Red Ribbon due to a dedication ceremony officially handing off the locomotive back to the City of Guelph. No longer fenced in (just one side) this beautiful steamer is accessible from this parking lot behind the station, beside the GO kiss and ride.

Cosmetic restoration of 6167 had begun in 2002 guided by a Restoration Committee (Many of whom are members of the Guelph Historical Railway Association) plus a few dedicated members from out of town and Museums staff. Today the locomotive has officially become a third museum site under the Guelph Museums department. Congrats to the team that made this possible and for all the tireless and countless hours of volunteer work put into this fine locomotive restoration project.

    No pierre, see the links at bottom of the caption – I linked to a photo of the move in 2010.

    Nice to see that locomotive restored and treated better than when it was by the Greyhound coach station (from when I remember it when I worked in Guelph back in 2005). Looks good!
