Finally!! The big loco upon delivery to the museum. Good slice of history there, Bill.

But so very sad, as she was operable and serviceable at this time. Once displayed at Fort Erie, she has been allowed to deteriorate beyond repair. She was one of the most beautiful Northerns operated by CNR, and deserves a better fate; certainly better care.
