I was browsing photos of Royal Hudsons on RailPictures.net last night, and was
surprised to find pictures of one on the Southern Railway in excursion service.
Other than 2860 on BC Rail, did any other railroads - tourist or other -
purchase these locomotives from CP?
That one was rescued from the dead line by Ron Ziel and partners, and
they began restoring it. There are pictures in his book "Twilight of
Steam Locomotives." They may have run out of money at some point, and
leased or sold it to Southern. The engine appeared in "Coal Miner's
Daughter". Completely out of place.
Probably the only one outside of 2860 to live on in that service.
