One learns a little more with each passing day. I'd
previously thought they ran all the way.

The 3100s didn't operate on the International of Maine. They were assigned only
to Montreal-Megantic (the division point at the border). I believe that the ICC
didn't approve the nickel steel boiler so they couldn't operated in the U.S.

There are pros vs. cons about OSHA down here and I'm sure
the Canadian equivalent on your side of the border.
That said, what does government labour policy have to do with
CPR steam, 3101 in particular? I'd love to hear/see something
of 3100-01 when they were assigned to the ATLANTIC LTD. running
via the Int'l Of Maine Div. across Maine. Omer LaVallee's
IOM book is one of the finest RR books ever published. It's
only marred by the lack of a 3100 photo owing I'm sure to the
ATLANTIC's nocturnal passage through ME during the brief period
those engines were assigned there.
