CPR records in January 1957 indicate 1254 and 1266 were headquartered
at North Bay and 1259 at Sudbury.

Hi all,

Does anyone know which G-5 steam locomotives were assigned to the
Sudbury
area in 1957-1958.
Or, looking at it another way, does anyone know where the following
CPR G-5
steam locomotives were assigned:
1219
1221
1225
1257
1261
1267

Actually, there is a photo of 1261 in Dale Wilson's "Abbey to Zorra"
which
was taken close to Sudbury in 1948. Would it still be in the Sudbury
area in
1957-1958.

I'm asking because I have just finished painting a CPR G5 and would
like to
select a number that would correspond to a locomotive in the Sudbury
area in
1957-1958.

Thanks,

Mike
