Different thread. Did the CP ever have any 4-8-2 Mountains? If so what was
the numbering?

Did CP run to Seattle or was it a connecting train?

I only have 1903 and 1907 timetables. According to the 1903 timetable the
connection was via the Seattle & Int. Rwy and in 1907 it the Northern
Pacific.

Gentlemen:



Does anyone know how long the CPR ran passenger trains to Seattle?

They ran through Sumas and the first one was in early 1892, April I
believe. I suspect the latest they would have run would have been when the
Fraser River railway bridge at New Westminster opened (1904), but it may
have been earlier.
