Caption: CNR's first batch of sixteen 4-8-2 Mountain types were delivered in 1923, were designated as Class U-1-a, and assigned road numbers 6000 through 6015. These steam locomotives had 26 x 30 cylinders, 73" drivers, a 210 psi boiler pressure, and exerted 49,588 lbs. of tractive effort. They weighed in at 354,110 lbs. and were used on express passenger trains between Montreal and Toronto. Here we see CN 6015 Mountain type, but we don't see the mountains in Jasper, AB on this cold, windy, overcast, and snowy morning. The Jasper VIA station is at the left, and VIA #2 The Canadian is at the right of this magnificent steam locomotive. For those in on the 'park bench' thing, there is one at the fence line in front of the locomotive. :-)
