which engine is the subject of the headline and the article... ( To me, that title belongs to 4449, from 1975...). W. Date: 03/23/24 19:47 Re: Empress Returns - April Railfan & Railroad Author: asheldrake Wes, the article is about the CP 2816 and their impending tri-country romp....I have been finding my subscription to Railfain & Railroad is well worth it.

Wes. ( …. More: ORHF loaned them an auxiliary Tender —- water-car—-, right ? W.) Posted from iPhone Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/23/24 19:58 by wcamp1472.

Date: 03/24/24 00:57 Re: Empress Returns - April Railfan & Railroad Author: wcamp1472 Thanks for the better information!
Always deeply appreciative. W. Posted from iPhone Date: 03/24/24 06:32 Re: Empress Returns - April Railfan & Railroad Author: aehouse This is one of the best-written and most comprehensively researched pieces of railroad literature appearing anywhere since the David P. Morgan era.
Justin Franz knocked it out of the ballpark with the Empress article, as well as a shorter piece on the CP's G5s. Art House Date: 03/25/24 20:36 Re: Empress Returns - April Railfan & Railroad Author: inrdjlg From Justin's cover photo to A.J. Shewan's "parting shot," including the aforementioned articles about CPR 2816 and G5s, plus Ron Flanary's look back at CPR 2839's excursion adventures on the Southern Railway, Steve Barry's "Canadians at Strasburg," and Jim Shaughnessy's photos from Eastern Canada in the 1950s, the April 2024 Railfan & Railroad is a treasure.
