The photo is dated 1945. There were 6 T1a's assigned passenger colours from
1936 and until the T1c's were delivered.

Prior to the adoption of Tuscan red panels, passenger engines only had
gold leaf lettering. Freight engines had gold-yellow paint lettering. The
lettering practice continued in the later lettering scheme.

Yes, and they fit in the descriptions given. The K1a were not in
passenger colours however, until after the introduction of the
semi-streamlined/streamlined locomotives in the 1930's. Numerous photos taken
when they were new and in the 1930's show this. There were a number of G3a-d
engines painted passenger colours and the K1a too. Hello Doug & cpsig group,
This is a question that keeps cropping up from time to time. I have a lot of
photos taken in BC in the 1930s that clearly show many of the Vancouver
assigned 2700 series Pacifics were painted with red panels on the tender, and
were used in regular passenger service, not just special occasions. The two
P1n Mikado's that had red panels were painted up for CP president Neal's
special train in 1947. The 5209 handled his train from Nelson to Penticton,
and the 5211 from Penticton to Vancouver. The 5209 was restored to normal
livery immediately after the trip, but 5211 retained the red panels into the
early 1950s. The other notable BC engine to receive these panels was D10 #962,
which handled his train in the Okanagan. Also of interest is the fact that
a couple of G5 class 1200s handled his train as well, and received similar
livery. The 1209 from ???? to Lethbridge, AB, and 1206 from Lethbridge to
Nelson, BC. Ray Matthews
