Fantastic! This is great to see in 2017. That is a BIG whistle on the 41.

If you care to go to photo ID 9409 you see this loco in Central Western days as #9, and without the big whistle.

Interesting ditch lights on the 1392.
If I was a steam engine and given the choice, I would go for the big whistle too. That one looks darn impressive.

1392′s ditchlights were added years ago (during the 1990s I believe) to satisfy Transport Canada requirements for mainline running. The second dynamo was added to power them, as the added load would have been too much for just one dynamo to handle.

Great picture Colin ! Just a little note, 1392 is a 4-6-0,
used to chase some of her sister 4-6-0’s around southern Ontario in the later 1950’s

Colin, great picture ! Love the contrast between the two ten-wheelers, the different headlight locations, the different front end number boards but similar number plates (at least in colour), one with vertical tube style pilot and the other with “western style” horizontal slat pilot, and though 41 has a smaller boiler and fire box, they both seem to have similar size domes and cab.
Do you know the heritage of 41 ? Many thanks, John

Colin, any chance that an 8 x 10 print can be acquired ? Such a great picture historical engines and coaches. Thank you, John
