Remarks & Notes

The Royal Hudson steam locomotive #2860 is shunting at the Vancouver North yard before hauling its train to Squamish. Unfortunately, this beautiful engine is no more in operation today. The Royal Hudsons are a series of semi-streamlined 4-6-4 "Hudson" type steam locomotives formerly owned and operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) and built by Montreal Locomotive Works (MLW). The engines were built in 1937. In 1939, King George VI allowed the CPR to use the term after Royal Hudson number 2850 transported the royal train across Canada with no need of replacement. These locomotives were in service between 1937 and 1960.
